'I think you are being foolish. You know he will not lose his way. Onye Ara knows this village as well as we know the road to the river'. Enyibe was whispering again, probably because my own voice was quite calm and not loud.

'Enyibe, I cannot leave our goats and go into hiding with my sister. If something happens to the goats, I will not know how to explain it to Dede when he comes back.'
For a moment Enyibe looked at me as if I had gone mad, 'Do you mean that you care more about goats than your sister and yourself?' He asked me.
'No, I replied, I mean that you do not know my father' I tried to explain it to him: 'Dede does not expect his children to be afraid, or to ignore his instructions because they are afraid, Also Dede does not believe that madmen are to be feared. He said once that Onye Ara has never hurt anyone in this village. He says that a mad man hurts only those who run away when they see him.'
