Part 41

The village dwellers of this village were people known for their habit of being interested in other people’s issues, so much so that men and women visited each other with the sole objective of exchanging news and gossip about what was transpiring in the other villages. At one time it was a common pastime to meet at the communal family square by moonlight to listen to the tales and anecdotes told by the Sage or any elder that may have had something to tell by way, for example, of tales from other villages. It was this way, the village dwellers got news from other villages, besides traveling to those other villages by themselves.
