I recall a tale from the
early times.
Two young hunters were
out in the forest one day when they came upon a dragonfly stuck in the mud. Now
their people believed that if you saved a dragonfly it would grant the rescuer
a wish, so they pulled the dragonfly from the mud. Once freed the dragonfly
said “I thank you, and will grant you each one wish.”
One hunter thought for a
moment and then said “I wish to be the smartest man ever.” With a flash of the dragonfly
wings “Now you are.”
And to other hunter
“What is your wish?” The second hunter replied “I wish to be smarter than him.”
Another flash of the wings, “Now you are Woman.”
