This was not the time to say I dont know. The brothers had begging, hungry looks, like dogs waiting to be fed. They wanted an answer. It would be nice if it was the right answer, but if it couldnt be, then any answer would do, because then we would stop being worried...and then his mind caught alight.Thats what the gods are! An answer that will do! Because theres food to be caught and babies to be born and life to be lived and so there is no time for big, complicated, and worrying answers! Please give us a simple answer, so that we dont have to think, because if we think, we might find answers that dont fit the way we want the world to be.
