Stories and legends were handed down by word of mouth and those who spoke the words could fashion the stories to suit their whims. The tales were passed on through generations and the most popular ones repeated with slight twists and turns. There is something of importance being described here, as we join with the listeners. The young ones, enthralled, will one day repeat this story. This painting has a quiet and poignant aura that rests upon an age old gesture: the finger pointing towards the sky, just as truth is told.
