The Hunter and the Eaglet: A Ghanaian folktale retold

A village hunter is really having a bad time; he goes for many days without any prey in sight and everyday he returns home, downcast, to the murmurs of the villagers and the mockery of the village kids. Then one day, he finds a wounded eaglet left alone in the bushes. Is he to claim it as a prize or to leave it alone to die? The hunter, however, has other plans. What he does with the eaglet surprises everyone, including his own family. This story would be told and retold by the villagers for generations after the passing of the hunter.
