Trang 1It is only the shaman who is privy to the chief’s
dying words The shaman then is obliged to
communicate the chief’s advice to the tribe
However, none of the actual words having
spoken by the dying chief can be uttered until the
mourning is over (None except for ‘grammar’
words like ‘I,’ ‘the,’ ‘and,’ ‘for,’ ‘should,’ etc.)
Should any tribesmember utter any of his last
‘content’ words the evil spirits from the other
world will gain access to and steal the soul of the
passing leader, and terrible vengeance will be
brought upon the tribe
Your task: You will break up into groups, and
paraphrase (=rewrite) the last words for the
shaman so that he can communicate the
message to the tribe safely You only get points
