For Herda & Wangugi To become a man he has a difficult task: he must be brave enough to kill a beast. A tradition in his tribe, you may ask. The boy is not fierce, strong, or fast in the least. The boy has hardly a weapon, hand-made, and surely not a gun: but a long stick with a sharpened tip, a spear. This is the tradition, such hunting calls for a shun from the village if the task is not complete, that is clear. The lion is too fast, the boy cannot outrun it. The boy must be silent; the lion is too strong, and has spotted the boy, it picks up it's speed. The boy was not careful; the lion too strong. There is a stuggle, but the boy has killed the lion. The boy is now a man in his village.
