RE: ADSactly Short Story - The Evil Twin
Very good story, @churchboy. Full of beliefs, ancestral and cultural knowledge. It is very interesting how in some villages, this knowledge has been taken into account for centuries and has been passed on from generation to generation. In this story, even though the father and the priest were willing to give up the children, the gods took pity and did not act against them. I believe that in this case faith and obedience were put to the test! Thank God in the end love and union prevailed. Thank you for that sobering story!
Both the priest and the father acted out of fear. But the priest had enough compassion to place the babies in a place where they would not be devoured by wild animals in the barn within the confines of the evil forest. He did not know the outcome of that action and was surprised to find that the children were not harmed.
It is entirely possible that there were no gods involved in this matter. But the believe of the people that there was gods validated the gods.
I'm pleased that you took the time to read and leave a beautiful comment. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment. There may have been no gods but the believe that there were gods validated such gods and influenced the people's behaviour.
