Lifes Brief Candle

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

All our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more; it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

Galaus men collected and buried the bodies as fast as they could. They found Umat

among the dead , too.

dead !

But they were wrong . When Galau heard that his brother was dead, he came to see

where he lay, still unburied. He cried and mourned for him.

He was my brother and my fathers son, he said. He was younger than I am. I

should have looked after him. I want you to make a tall, carved memorial pole, like the one

you made for my late father.

But the men disagreed. Chief, they said, Your kindness is too great. This man was

your brother and your late fathers son. This is why he should never gone against you the

way he did . He should not have brought our enemies here to attack and kill many of our

friends. You can mourn him if you like, but we will not carve a pole for him.
