One day the son called him and the following ensued between them.
SON: Dad, is our ancestors still very active these days with Christianity all over the places?
FATHER: Still very very active my son.
SON: Can't they be appease?
FATHER: But why all these questions?
SON: A man with a lot of chickens doesn't need to ask what is the falcon and the hawk looking for, on his roof's top.
FATHER: Haven't you red the portion of the Holy Bible which says, "Every sin shall be forgiven men but the blasphemy against the spirit shalt not be forgiven?" And another commandment says. "Thou shall not be envious of someone's else property.
SON: Dad, what portion of our culture has this same quotation?
FATHER: When you trespass another man's property without the person's consent, the ancestors would bring your knees to the grave.
SON: Dad, but why are the ancestors this harsh?
FATHER: Because a thief must not be allowed to live.
SON: But, l still believed that nature can be twisted.
FATHER: But you should know by now that the child of a crippled must first the parent to walk.
SON: What do you mean, dad?
FATHER: It means that someone's enemy always die before the person.
SON: But Dad, inheritance is not a crime. Is it?
FATHER: It is not a crime if the original owner of the property died naturally and not when he is forced to death.
SON: I hate our culture!
FATHER: Only a thief who wants to overthrow and take over what is not his by force that will hate our culture.
Go to the bank. There are lots of money to the admiration of the eyes, but when you touch any or steal from them, then you will know the power of the law. Also is the ancestors.
SON: But Dad, l red in the Bible sometimes ago that people of old lived hundreds of years. Like you now, how many years do you think you will live and mine too, how many?
FATHER: Well son, my father told me that when l was born, a certain fortune teller told him that l will lived for one hundred and sixty years and because of this, when l gave birth to you, l also consulted a fortune teller to know how long you will live.
He said that your total life span is seventy years. Now l am fifty six years and you are thirty three which means l have more one hundred and four years while you have just thirty seven
SON: Haba Dad! For what? You know that is not fair. Why is nature this wicked towards me?
FATHER: Well, k don't know but that is just it.
