Greetings to the Elders.....

Permit me to speak in parables in front of you Elders, not because I'm worthy but because I'm privileged..

It's you Elders that says;

A child catches a small fish at first, he ate it alone
He caught a small fish the second time, he also ate it alone,
Now that he has caught a big shark, he now takes it to his father....

Sir, Ma, this situation is beyond me reason why I have run to you my fathers and mothers to help me out..

Then you start your narration.....
