Does anyone else find it weird that the death of the chief's son wasn't enough to convince the chief to overturn his decree, but Yagangnaa inviting the chief to a drink after surviving an attempted drowning in pito was what did it That just doesn't sound right to me. Surely, losing your own son as an indirect result of your policy decisions would be far more impactful than something relatively petty (I mean, drowning a thorn on your side in alcohol is still attempted murder, but then again, the chief's son died because he was the unintended victim of attempted murder.

All he really had to keep doing was challenge the chief’s authority, first by pointing out the impossibility of tasks he was given, and then defying the chief’s authority twice.
The chief failed because the chief assumed his authority would be enough to carry him, without anything to back it up beyond that, and the boy just had to keep defying that idea to win.

3: 06 - I'm glad I don't have to live my life amongst barbaric people who can make a hero of a story be a guy who, having a beef with the chief, gets the chief's SON (who has done nothing wrong) k'illed, to give a comeuppance to the chief. That's SO unfair, having the CHILD of a person get consequences because of the wrong's done by that child's parent.

(0: 01) If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. Yep. That about sums it up for CERTAIN parts of western society nowadays. I'm glad TE is finally feeling brave enough to call it out.

It feels like the chief would be more likely to execute the child and their family than humor the child with petty challenges (especially after the death of his own son, but that would be a less interesting story.

This story has something in common with the tale the wit boy in Vietnam, is the story about a boy and a person in power, the motip is also to answer a hard question by providing another hard question.

This reminds me of The Wooing Of Beppo Tate, a book about a clever Jamaican boy who outwitted his conniving neighbour who tried to blackmail him.
