In the part of Africa where I stay, the first to come out of the womb is regarded as the elder but there are other tradition, like the Yoruba tribe that believe that the first to come out from the womb goes first to prepare the way and check out the world before the other one is delivered and the second to be delivered is regarded as the elder
Today's episode of the story is interesting. From the eldest son killing the beast with seven heads to marry the most beautiful lady in the city, and then falling into danger again.
From the way the eldest son is described in the story, I see as very brave and courageous. It takes only courage and bravery to come into a land and fight a powerful beast for upto three and then defeating it. He might have acted carelessly in the part where he tried breaking into the small hot, Although his wife warned him. I hope he makes it out if the place unhurt.
Your brother Antoine has a beautiful house. It has lasted long but doesn't look old in any way. I hope you're having a good time over there. Do enjoy your stay sir
