What did you see?
gpt
Oh juju, come out of the sky, I saw a great festival and Dogon danced with their enemies the Mosse and the Tellum--and, all seemed happy beyond belief.
human
And what did you see?
gpt
The same. The same,
human
That is the message I have come to give you. You will hold a great conference with the people of the Tellum and the people of the Mosse and there will be a great celebration and no longer will there be Dogon, Mosse and Tellum, but all will be one. And there will be trade, and there will be marriage between the tribes, and no longer will there be three tribes, but only one people and no longer will the headmen and witchmen of the tribes resist the coming of the new schools, and all the young people will attend.
gpt
But, great juju come out of the sky, these are our blood enemies. For longer than the memory of the grandfathers of our eldest Hogon we have carried the blood feud with Tellum and Mosse.
human
No longer,
gpt
But they will not heed us. Tellum and Mosse have hated the Dogon for all time. They will wreak their vengeance on any delegation come to make such suggestions to them.
human
I fly to see their headmen and witchmen immediately, Dolo Anah bit out decisively.
gpt
They will heed my message. His tone turned dangerous.
human
As will the headmen and witchmen of the Dogon. If any fail to obey the message from above, their eyes will lose sight, their tongues become dumb, and their bellies will crawl with worms.
gpt
But the schools, oh great juju--as all the Dogon have decided, in tribal conference--the schools are evil for our youth. They teach not the old ways--
human
The old ways are fated to die. Already they die. The new ways are the ways of the schools.
gpt
But, since the coming of the French, we have rejected the schools.
human
These will not be schools of the French. They will be the schools of Bantu, Berber, Sudanese and all the other peoples of the land. And when your young people have attended the schools and learned their wisdom they in turn will teach in the schools and in all the land there will be wisdom and good life. Now I have spoken and all of you will withdraw save only the sons of the headmen.
