"And he was riding an iron horse. The first people who saw him ran away, but he stood beckoning to them. In the end
the fearless ones went near and even touched him. The elders consulted their Oracle and it told them that the strange

"The missionaries had come to Umuofia. They had built their church there, won a handful of converts and were already
sending evangelists to the surrounding towns and villages. That was a source of great sorrow to the leaders of the

would deliberately allow a man to go on den hg them. But even is such cases they set their limit at seven market
weeks or twenty-eight days. Beyond that limit no man was suffered to go. And so excitement mounted in the village as

"The royal python was the most revered animal in Mbanta and all the surrounding clans. It was addressed as 'Our
Father,' and was allowed to go wherever it chose, even into people's beds. It ate rats in the house and sometimes

an expensive burial ceremony as was done for a great man. No punishment was prescribed for a man who killed the
python knowingly. Nobody thought that such a thing could ever happen."
