TOGETHERNESS PAYS
The Buffalo (Bison Bison) is a very large and gregarious animal. The male, called “Bull” could weigh up to 2000 lbs. (900 Kg). Within a group, the dominant male takes the leadership role. Remember they are gregarious – rarely would a single Buffalo be sighted grazing alone. The lion female (lioness) is a very fierce animal capable of attacking a herd of Buffalo because of its courage. But unfortunately, the highest weight lions could reach is 420 lbs. (190 Kg) so, it would take at least five fully grown lions to take down a single Buffalo. In addition, the lion might not survive a single stamp from a buffalo because of that weight.
The wolf is another fierce carnivore just like lion but not as fast and successful in hunting as lion. A lot of prey would always outrun it. So, to ensure success in hunting, wolves hunt in groups (packs). When one runs and fails to catch the prey, it slows down and another one increases its speed, on and on like that until the prey is caught.
The essence of the two analogies is that for a lion to take down a buffalo, it requires TOGETHERNESS and for a Buffalo to resist the attack of a hungry lion, it requires TOGETHERNESS; for the wolf not to die of hunger, it must hunt with others to ensure successful catches.
MORAL LESSON
There are lot of things you cannot achieve alone. Embrace togetherness and teamwork when necessary. With togetherness, a lot would always be achieved compared to when one goes solo! Work with others! Read in teams! Brainstorm, summarise and revise together! You cannot survive on your own because humans are also social animals so seek knowledge from others! Ogbón ológbón ni ò kì n jé kán p’àgbà ni wèrè (The reason why an elder is not called “mad” is another person’s wisdom). Oh yes! Togetherness pays.
Three hundred and twenty (320) words are enough for the wise!
I wish all AAUAITES success in their examinations!
