On Monday, the tribe sat down around the fire to eat. As was normal in the silence of the meal, the chief called on one of his warriors, “Tell us what great things you did today!”
The warrior sat up straight, “I killed two boars. One of them we are eating now.”
The chief said, “That is good,” and they continued their meal in silence.
On Tuesday, the chief called upon another of his hunters, “What great things did you do today?”
“My chief, I saw a mighty ox, which I tracked all morning, but when I caught it at mid-day, it escaped.”
