Lesson from Indigenous People

I reached out my hand
To grab onto a branch
And heard a voice call out
"Too dangerous. You'll fall."

I didn't pay any attention
To the warning and moved
Onto the branch.

Crack! The branch broke
And sent me tumbling
Down to the ground.

The voice caught me
And said to me
"I warned you it is
Too dangerous you'll fall."

I looked up
And saw a native
Carefully putting me down
To the ground safely.
