Mother Kite and Daughter Kite Chp 15 Things Fall apart

In chapter 15 we learn more about Uchendu´s personality, as and elder we can see his perspective toward life and his great wisdom. After Obierika informs them about Abame`s tragedy by the white missionaries it’s Obierika start telling them a story about a Mother kite and its daughter kite. The Mother sends its daughter to hunt food and first it brings a duckling, the mother asks her daughter, how the mother of the duckling react when she took the little duckling and she said that mother duckling didn’t do or say something, so Mother Kite said to her daughter to return the duckling because “There is something ominous behind the silence” she said. After this the daughter returns the duckling, it took a chick instead, when she came back with her mother she asked the same question and the daughter replied “It cried and raved and cursed me”, so Mother kite said “There is nothing to fear from someone who shouts”.  

In my opinion this is a message we all need to remember and know for life, sometimes everything it’s not what it seems and we need to be intelligent to see and observe how others react to the circumstances and base us in them. People react depending in what they live, if they are scared the are impulsive put if they are angry they are more vindictive.
