The assignment put Tikan on his toes. Added to that was the glory and recognition it would bring him. He had always desired friendship, recognition and equity, so now that he had the opportunity to get them, he promised himself he would not let that slip by. He set his mind to work.
By the third day, Tikan got the answer to the puzzle or rather unraveled the dream. When he narrated it to Dosa, he listened attentively. By the time Tikan finished his narration Dosa was all smiles and jumping about. He was so elated that he shook Tikan's hand and embraced him.
You are right Tikan, you have become a wise man. You have learnt enough. Your people are waiting for you. This time, they are not going to look at your height, they are going to listen to and learn from what you are going to teach them. You will return to your people tomorrow.
So soon? Tikan asked. Yes so soon, Dosa answered.
Tikan smiled. He missed his home and now that the opportunity to see his home has come, it would be great to see the motherland once again.
