When I asked of you youngsters to make ' a rope of yam flour'. I gave you an impossible task. No one can make a rope of the type. No group or community can make such  a rope.The only way that you knew of a ' sample' of it, was through an elder. And there is no sample. When you made your complaints before me against the elders, you were asking me to sanction the impossible. You, and I, cannot live without  the elders. Just like a building cannot stand without its  foundation . The elders are the foundations, while you are the pillars. So, it  is  without   any  reservations  that   you  must  do  your  tasks and chores. For  you must render help and muster your energies to do for the elders. When you think back to when you were   little.. The elders were the ones that fed and clothed you . The same elders were  the ones that guided your first steps when you started to walk. Even, when you were sick and feverish, the same elders made sure that you recover   and  got  well. So, whatever your tasks or chores, do them with total devotion and diligence. You  must  approach  your  duties  with pride and love. Whatever  service  that   you  render  for  the elders  is only a token of  all  that  they  have  done  for  you. Finally, when the seasons change like  a  tree  turning  new  leaves, you are going  to  be  elders  yourself  in the natural  cycle of  life. And  your  wish   and  desire  would  be  that  your  own  children   do  their  tasks  and  chores.
