Obelusa was a great and wealthy African hunter who had 3 sons.  One day Obelusa was killed while hunting and when news of this reached his family, the first words to come out of the youngest son’s mouth was “Where is my father?” The other sons then asked “Yes we should look for him.”  They all went out to the forest and found his body and hunting equipments.  They say that a son has the power to bring back life to his father and indeed by some strange magic Obelusa came back to life when each of his sons touched his body.  The village celebrated his return and in this celebration Obelusa said he will give the biggest share of his land to the one who did the most to bring him back to life.  Each of the sons said he was responsible.  Obelusa then picked up the youngest son and said he was the one who did the most to bring him back to life because the first word to come out his mouth was “ Where is my father?” If man lives in the heart of his son then he has a chance to survive, because man is not dead until he is forgotten.
