Hi,
over these past 5 weeks i have been reading a story with my class called the blind man and the hunter, set in western Africa.
it is about a blind man who has a sister and one day a hunter comes through there village and well the sister is gardening some plants in there back yard the hunter spots her and is blown away from beauty.
the blind ma's sister and the hunter get married and the hunter moves into their house.
every day the hunter would wake up, go hunting and come back with food for dinner and then relax while the sister is cooking the food for dinner.
one night while they were eating their food the blind man starts speaking.
" brother let me come hunting with you tomorrow " .
the hunter says no.
and from that night every single day for 100 days the blind man asked to go hunting with the hunter,but the hunter kept saying no.
it got to the point were the blind man asked again one night and the hunter got so sick of saying no he just sighed and said fine.
the they go hunting and the blind man tells the hunter there are a family of lions up ahead and that they should be careful.
then they come across a snake in the tree wanting to strike at the hunter so they go another way.
they come across a family of elephants at the river.
they go to a area were there are so much trees you could hardly see anything.
they place down 2 traps and go home.
while the sister is cooking dinner the blind man is sitting down and the hunter walks up to him and says you should come hunting with me tomorrow so he did.
they go hunting the next day to there traps they set and there are 2 birds in both cages.
the hunters cage that he put down had a plain white black and grey bird so not very interesting.
but the hunter had a beautiful bird with multiple colored feathers.
and so the hunter takes both birds out of the cages and give the plain bird to the blind man thinking that he won't know the difference.
on the way back home the hunter asks why there is so much evil in the world.
the blind man reply's saying because there are people like you that take whats not there's.
the hunter gives his bird to him and asks another question
how are we going to stop the evil in the world ??
the blind man reply's
because there are people like you that learn there lesson.
and from that day on the blind man goes hunting with the hunter every day.
and so now we are writing our own story's in our version and my version of the story will be up on my next blog post.
