3.18. The lessons

Little Sihu knew that she is creator heiress and when she'll become young adult she'll change her mother Wenona becoming tribal leader and creator. But Sihu still had to see many summers and winters until that day and to learn many things like the archery, fishing, hunting, she had to be strong and fast like any warrior in her tribe and she really wanted that. The best teachers were her parents and little Sihu loved them both from a bottom of her little heart.

The world seemed so interesting and full of discoveries. Sihu wanted to know and learn everything. Why aunt Nikki is so upset. Sihu knew that her cousins and friends Senia and Inara will have a little sister or brother soon, but does a baby who lives in her aunt's belly make her so upset?

And why Okomi looks so thoughtful? Is he also upset like aunt Nikki?

Sihu would ask them, but mom said her it's rude to interfere in the affairs of other people, if they don't ask themselves for your advice or help. Sihu didn't want to be rude. However, she always could to ask her mother about everything she was curious. Mom always knew all the answers to her questions.
- Mommy, when I'll grow up will I also have children?
- Yes, my little one, - Wenona nodded smiling. - Creator must have children and give a creator heiress to her tribe.
- And what else I'll have to do when I'll be adult?
- To be a tribal creator is a big and responsible work, my little one. You are responsible not only for your children, but also for the people of your tribe, you'll have to be strong and confident person, a brave warrior, who's able to resist the enemy, if they'd occur. But most importantly, my daughter, believe in yourself. If you'll not believe in yourself, others will not believe in you, too. And patience... Patience and endurance. Consider words. Wisdom. You will have to learn a lot, Sihu, until you'll become tribal creator.
- And you? How did you learn to be creator, mom? - a little heiress looked at her mother's eyes.
Wenona smiled softly at her daughter.
- When I and your uncles Tahatan and Kotori were children like you, we also had mom. My mom taught me how to be creator and my mom learned how to be creator from her mom, my grandma Amadahy and grandma learned it from her mom. It comes from generation to generation, Sihu.
- I want to learn everything about it, mom, - Sihu smiled widely.
- You will, my dear, - Wenona stroked her daughter's hair. - We have a lot of time...
Sihu sighed happily and looked dreamly at the sky. One day she'll be strong and wise creator... Just like her mom.

***

Okomi didn't know what to do. Suletu was with a child. How could it happen? If even she'll become young adult after few months it still wasn't right. They broke the tribal laws. "The first lesson - always listen your mind if even your heart says different", - thought Okomi. He gave a deep sigh. His day was ruined although he still had a lot of work in his little garden. "It's too late... We can't change anything, we can only accept the fact that we'll have a baby after few months... And hope that creator Wenona will be merciful to us".
