THE THREE GREAT WARRIORS.

THE THREE GREAT WARRIORS

A strong warrior from the camp of the enemy encouraged them, saying the two had been killed out of the three.

He said further that fleeing at the stage would make them look like a woman. At last, Collins was killed. The enemies was cut off his head from his body, carried it up, paraded it in victory dance and described him as the strongest of the three. Morgan their mother, who did not know what happened, was arranging another heroic welcome for her children.

Sycophants were hanging around waiting for the return of the Warriors.

Their mother tidied her home and prepared delicious dishes. While seeing a friend who had visited her, she laughed happily as they chatted along the road.

This called the hen's attention.

"Oh!, my dear Morgan," the hen said quietly. "She has not yet known that her son's , the great warriors have all been killed in the battle. I will tell her". And the hen sang;

Morgan, Morgan o-oo-

Chorus: The worst have done eeh-ee

What are you doing there?

Pluto the town crier has been killed

Sparta the trumpeter has been killed

Collins the horn cracker has also been killed

What are you doing there?

What are you doing there?

Morgan did not pay attention to the hen's song, she walked back to her home.

The hen followed her and kept repeating the song. Near the doorstep, the hen sang louder and called out.

"Morgan the deaf,

Morgan the foolish,

Have you not been hearing me?

your three sons,

The great warriors have been killed.

What are you doing there?.

Morgan heard the hen clearly this time. She fell on the ground and cried aloud and rolled herself all over the ground. The hen consoled her and advised her to take things as she saw them because the life of every living creature was in the hand of God.

The hen bid Morgan farewell and said:

"Our lives do not belong to us. Even, we too cannot tell what will happen next." The hen then left for home.

On her way going, the hawk attacked her.

Morgan was still crying when she heard the heard the hen shouting loudly in her usual manner whenever she was in danger.

She quickly got up from the ground, ran inside the the house and locked the door. This is the way God warns that parents should not encourage their children into wars or violence.
