Mother Kite

On chapter fifteen of the book called "Things fall apart” there´s a story told by Chendu to Okonkwo, the story is told by the next way:

Mother kite once sent her daughter to bring food. She went and brought back a duckling. "You have done very well" said mother kite to her daughter "but tell me, what did the mother of the duckling said when you swooped and carried it´s child away?" "it said nothing" replied the young kite. "It just walked away". "You must return the duckling" said mother kite. "There is something ominous behind the silence". And so daughter kite returned the duckling and took a chick instead. "What did the mother of the chick do?"  asked the old kite. " It cried and raved and cursed me" said the young kite. "Then we can eat the chick" said her mother. "There is nothing to fear from someone who shouts". "Those men of Abame were fools".

This fable may be is a little bit exaggerated by the way things are told or explained, but at the end this fable give us a big message, a message that when you read it you just opened your eyes and see that this situation appears every day in our life’s.

By reading this story we just analyze that there is nothing to fear from someone who shouts, hits or do bad things to yourself, because they are not superior to you, they are as you, human beings with feelings, just remember that you know yourself, you known what you deserve, just as you know how you deserve to be treated, but I think that no one deserves to be treated like that and less being treated bad by a persons that is the same like you a human being with feelings and right, and remember that one right that human beings have is: Being treated by the way you deserve and that no one can discriminate you by that way. And if one day you are treated that way, remember that another right is the freedom of speech, you have the right to express what you feel because sometimes keeping secrets in a silence can be worst.

Sometimes the people that are in silence and don´t express what they feel are the persons that suffer the most or are the persons that keep the worst things or secrets in the world, but just remember there exists human being rights.
