The place where they know better

A boy from Lagos city and another from Apete village in Ibadan were seated in a bus, side by side. Along the way, on the way to Abuja, they got talking.
The village boy was the friendlier of the two and more talkative. He asked ' where are you from?'
The city boy wanted to be cheeky, therefore he answered, 'from a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence'.

The city boy was by then wearing a grimace of satisfaction indicating that he had intimidated the village boy somehow with that response.

The village boy was quiet for a short while, then smiled and asked ' where are you from, fool?'
