378. The Young Hunter and Sustainable Hunting
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Mike tells the tale of a young man who rose to become a skilled hunter, imparting his expertise to fellow villagers at the chief's behest. Over time, the other hunters abandoned the challenging techniques. The young man persisted in hunting solo, sustaining the village. When newcomers sought to settle nearby with a promise of sustainable hunting, the old chief consented. The newcomers' chief then asked for the village's finest hunter to instruct them. Following the death of the seasoned panther hunter, the village faced starvation, prompting the new chief to adopt the old hunter's strategies. This narrative is a call to embrace lessons from the past to prosper in the present.
