A Celebrated Hunter
Jay is a hunter in the whole of his Community who has not been defeated in the whole of the community. His counterparts are also good hunters who love moving with Jay. He has a secret of hunting that other hunters are not aware of.
He told his friends who were hunters like him that there is a secret in hunting. He said "hunters cannot just go to the bush in search of animals but must use a strategy which I have been applying in my hunting careers". Ben told Jay to disclose the secret behind his hunting which he replied "I cannot tell you the secret except when you discover it yourself". He explained further that my dad was a great hunter and wanted me to be like him and refused to tell me the secret he used to hunt animals. My father once told me that what I needed is in me and I don't need to expect him to tell me his way of doing it. Truly I learned it from him which surprised him. I went hunting with my dad one fateful day where he decided to watch me hunt and to his surprise, I brought him the finest and the special animal which he had not killed in his life. He gave me kudos. He hands off from hunting leaving me with his hunting materials.
Jay was very excited and a proud Hunter who believes no one can overtake him. He just has the belief that he is the only finest hunter ever seen .
Bale is just a boy who loves hunting but has always been deprived by his parents. They never wanted to let him get involved in hunting. He has been going hunting stylishly and has the talent of hunting. He said to his parents, "let me just change to hunting since I have the call." His parents refused as his dad was speaking from experience. He said "hunting puts me into the way I'm right now and I don't want to get myself and any of my children involved in it any longer." So, just please hear my.words and put that dream of yours and choose what can be of benefit to you. He wanted to hunt by all means as no one is capable of changing his mind.
The village town cryer was sent to announce the forthcoming feast which involved the best Hunter who is able to hunt five huge animals at the same time. It was not an easy task but one needs to emerge as a winner. So, Bale said to his dad, I'm going to be called for the feast as it is what I have passion for. There is no amount of words you will say that will change my mind as the king is going to have a feast for the one who emerges as a winner and reward him bountifully. So, nothing will stop me from attending the competition.
Bale was confident of himself and without doubt, he is the finest who no one knows. He became the silent Hunter who can hunt any form of animal. Bale does not want his talent to be revealed when the feast is yet to start.
Jay on the other hand is in the town and everyone has taken him as the winner even before the commencement of the competition. This was because no one in his Community could match up with him.
Now, the day they have all been waiting for finally arrived and everyone gathered in the village square waiting for the competition to commence. The men and those who can hunt went to the bush to hunt. It was supposed to be the first hunter to come back home with five fine animals, which is huge and exceptional. Within a few hours, Jay was home walking so happy and excited with a heavy bag filled with huge animals. Some people were hauling him while some that supposed to hail him kept mute without uttering words. It gave him a little insight and signal of his defeat. He went on to the village square but to his surprise, a boy who is not upto whom he can give birth to has arrived in the feast ground with huge meat and the kind of meat he has not even seen in his life. This shows that he has been defeated by a small boy.
The feast started and all the nearby Communities came to grace the occasion. The feast began and everyone ate to their satisfactions and Bale was given one fifth of the king's wealth. This made him praise himself and his parents who were initially depriving him from his career turned out to be celebrated. They were accorded lots of respect and were the talk of the community.
It was a great feast and a great celebration. Everyone was able to enjoy themselves to the fullest and Jay stopped to be proud as it was overconfidence that made him come.last.
Sometimes, we as parents should allow our children to go for what they have in mind instead of selecting for them. This will make them come out to be the best and indeed at their best.
Again, pride is not the best option as it can bring you to your downfall. Jay was proud and was underestimating others. So, remove the word pride from your mind and be the simplest people ever.
