From the south wind that shook the tree, to the mud wall that stopped the wind, to the rat that weakened the wall – each link leads to another in a fascinating spiral of accountability. Their investigation takes them through cats and ropes, knives and fires, water and oxen, flies and finally to the true culprit: Paa the gazelle, caught stealing fruit in the calabash tree.But this isn’t just a story about finding blame. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of how everything in our world is interconnected, and how the smallest actions can ripple outward with profound consequences. As the students discover, justice isn’t always as straightforward as it seems, and sometimes the truth requires following a very long and winding path.Join us as we unpack this timeless tale that asks profound questions: When something goes wrong, who is truly responsible? Is it the final actor in the chain, or everyone who played a part? And in our own lives, how often do we consider the complex web of events that lead to both our triumphs and our troubles?A story that will change how you think about cause, effect, and the hidden connections that shape our world.*Perfect for listeners who love folklore, moral philosophy, and stories that make you think long after they end.https://mythopia.io/story/804/the-chain-of-blame-finding-justice-for-teacher-goso
