The Brave
The Mighty Warrior
![]()
| There
once was a brave warrior one of the mightiest warriors
that ever lived, who began to become very arrogant, proud
of what he'd done, and began to boast to all the people
in his village of how mighty a warrior he was, And even
though they knew his reputaion and knew of his deeds that
he had done in battle, he was still persisted on telling
how great he was and boasting how much better he was at
being a warrior than the other warriors. Soon this was
something to a lot of people around the village and to
the other warriors. But still the brave warrior,the mighty warrior, persisted in boasting. He began to think about the weopons and tools that he used in his work, and he began to fashion the best tools of anyone in the village. His war club was the best of any war club that had ever been made,his bow was the strongest bow, and his arrows began to be the best arrows than anyone ever seen. He'd chip his arrow points to just razor sharpe edge, fasten them onto the shafts, so they would fly just as true as any arrow ever flew. But he still boasted and went on and on with how great he was and how great the things he used was. The old men began to warn him that his boasting would cause him failure in the end. But he did'nt heed to the warning and went on boasting. Soon the tribe went to war with another enemy ,and the brave warrior gathered up his fine tools of the trade and went off to war. But in the battle he was knocked unconscious from behind by one of the enemies and taken captive. And all things that he had carried with him into battle were taken with him into the enemies camp, when the enemy saw what had been used against them,they decided that these would be the things that would be used in his demise. So they tied the mighty warrior up and shot him with his own arrows. My grandfather told me this story hoping that I would understand that in planning life and arranging things should not boast of what he's done. And in planning your life and the strategies of how you will accomplish your life's journey, you should be wary that in the end you won't be shot by your own arrows. |
