  The Village Elder's Statement Concerning Wonder Workers

 
 

We had a wonder worker. He could make animal shapes appear in the clouds. He could astonish chickens into the power of speech. But none of this was very useful. So we burned him alive in his hut. We had invited another wonder worker. A useful one. Usefulness well proven. To work wonders for us. But the chickens told him what we had done. Now we are chickens too. Lost in burning woods.
