[00:00:07.190]Hi buddies, how are you? My name is Alexander.
[00:00:11.960]I am from Sudan. I'm going to share with you a story.
[00:00:16.250]And this one is not as specific where,
[00:00:20.120]but this has been used widely in Africa.
[00:00:25.070]So I hope you will enjoy it.
[00:00:29.510]it happened somewhere in animal kingdom that
[00:00:33.500]things were not going well. And the animals decided to call a meeting,
[00:00:40.130]to elaborate on what is happening and they fixed the date
[00:00:45.620]and the day for the meeting. And actually,
[00:00:50.810]most of the animals showed up, but chicken didn't show up that day.
[00:00:55.790]And some of his friends, visited him and
[00:01:00.980]informed that we are supposed to go for a meeting, but the chicken lied that,
[00:01:05.750]is not feeling well.
[00:01:10.760]and say that to say to animals, go ahead and call a meeting.
[00:01:16.070]I will leave all the reason that will come up with and that,
[00:01:21.020]the animals went and they had a successful meeting.
[00:01:25.520]And then there's this need now that things were not going well.
[00:01:30.380]We are supposed to find a way
[00:01:35.210]to make the situation normal again. And they agreed that
[00:01:38.810]they have to sacrifice, something to appease the gods.
[00:01:42.770]G-O-D-S
[00:01:49.060]that's what they actually
[00:01:52.490]agreed. But no one was willing to come forward.
[00:01:57.170]So that can be used
[00:02:00.200]as a sacrifice to Appease the gods
[00:02:04.940]but since the chicken was not there, all the animals,
[00:02:10.130]all the animals agreed and that this was a problem
[00:02:16.460]the chairperson of the animal kingdom [said] let us use the chicken,
[00:02:21.860]as a sacrifice to appease
[00:02:25.010]the gods and all the animals that since chicken was not there
[00:02:29.810]to give suggestion or to object
[00:02:34.100]what was happening, the animals agree that let us use the chicken,
[00:02:38.840]To appease the gods and they agreed.
[00:02:44.210]So thus the reason,
[00:02:48.230]chickens are still being killed today
[00:02:54.380]In all African countries, chickens are killed every day, every hour,
[00:02:59.830]and even in other continents, chicken are being killed.
[00:03:05.860]So that's how it is started.
[00:03:09.460]And this happened a long time ago
[00:03:13.330]but I want to share with you the key things
[00:03:19.330]Do not lie and this one Appeared in this story,
[00:03:23.020]because chicken lied that he was not feeling well.
[00:03:27.220]You shouldn't lie. Number two, laziness, laziness is not accepted,
[00:03:32.470]so you shouldn't be lazy. You should be active whatever people are going to call or agree,
[00:03:37.330]please be there, show up so that you can make decisions
[00:03:42.310]and you can participate.
[00:03:44.530]And the last don't ever make-- don't ever let other people
[00:03:49.450]make decisions for you.
[00:03:51.490]This is actually the key three things you guys should
[00:03:56.290]learn from this. And there's from my end,
[00:04:00.310]I hope this story we be an Educating one. Thank you.
