Sacred Children almost daily.
7 Mountain Glory had long given up being jealous. Gray Boar would always say, "I have given you three Sacred Children, that is enough!"
8 It was rumored that Little Gray Boar was not as resistant as his father, but Sweet Blossom Crow kept most of the suitors away. It was said that Thundering Boar, though already had more children than could be counted, if anyone wanted to. His mother often complained of this, and he would jokingly answer that she shouldn't believe every rumor she heard. And anyway, who was he to disappoint the people?
9 "That boy is so shameful!" complained his mother.
10 "No he isn't," argued his father, "his mind simply isn't totally occupied with science, Therefore, he isn't as resistant as someone else we know."
11 Now Gray Boar was getting very old, but before his time as Speaker was done, there was one more great case for him to hear. One day a committee of Speakers came to him.
12 "Lord," they began, "there is a disgusting movement spreading through the Land led by one Shining Serpent. These people gather in secluded areas in private clubs, and take off their clothes! They run around playing games and doing all kinds of unspeakable things. There have been tales of men and women knowing each other in public, and of men knowing men and women knowing women."
13 "Do you have witnesses to any of these charges?" asked Gray Boar.
14 "No, Lord," said The Speakers, "but the mere fact that they are breaking The Law, that men are looking upon naked men and women on naked women is enough for us to bring charges and to declare that this man teaches heresy."
