Folklore-Rainforest

A boy and his tribe have been starved for many days so he decides to go and kill an elephant. He is successful and brings the carcass back for the tribe to eat. The boy was still hungry for meat. He went to sit by his traps and decided that the next ting he caught would be for just him to eat alone. As he sa, a woman spirit and her child were coming down the path. She let her child go and the child got caught in a trap. The boy ate the child and the spirit got upset and screamed. She disrupted the rest of the tribe.

The African elements were incorporated by the setting. The boy was in Africa and kills an elephant that live in Africa.

It was entertaining because you knew what was going to happen after he said he was going to catch the next thing.

The myth taught that the Africans must have respect for animals and not kill for personal pleasure or bad things will happen.

I could tell myself to respect animals and try to not take more than what I need.
