''Dead Men's Path'' by Chinua Achebe

The whole life of this village depends on it. Our dead relatives depart by it and our ancestors visit us by it. But most important, it is the path of children coming in to be born.
We follow the practices of our fathers. If you reopen the path we shall have nothing to quarrel about. What I always say is: ''let the halk perch and let the eagle perch''.
