Abim Parzival was born into a wealthy family that lived on the outskirts of a small village in Africa.
His father was a well-published author of several books that studied the local habitat of the nearby jungle.
His mother was an artist and her paintings hung in many important buildings all over the world. Abin, along with his 4 brothers spent most of their days exploring the jungle or swimming in the river – that is when they were not in lessons given by their tutor.
The family wanted for nothing and house staff tended to their every whim. Their main house was a large stone building with many rooms, furnished with ancient artifacts.
To the left of the main building was a small day house that had a tall stair case up one side which would allow one to sit near the fountain and view animal life in the tree tops.
With the passing of time, Abin and his brothers left home to begin their adults lives, his mother and father passed away (peacefully) and the big main house was left empty.
Many years later, Abim – now an old man, returned to his birth home to retire. With the staff all gone and no one to care for the property, the jungle had began to claim back its land. The main house was in ruins but amazingly the day room still stands.
Abim lives in the village now, but each day he cycles out to the day house and works at restoring it back to its former glory. It’s a lot of hard work and Abim (aged 82) is a keen worker.
