"And he was riding an iron horse. The first people who saw him ran away, but he stood beckoning to them. In the end
the fearless ones went near and even touched him. The elders consulted their Oracle and it told them that the strange
man would break their clan and spread destruction among them.' Obierika again drank a little of his wine. 'And so they
killed the white man and tied his iron horse to their sacred tree because it looked as if it would run away to call the

"The missionaries had come to Umuofia. They had built their church there, won a handful of converts and were already
sending evangelists to the surrounding towns and villages. That was a source of great sorrow to the leaders of the
clan, but many of them believed that the strange faith and the white man's god would not last. None of his converts
was a man whose word was heeded in the assembly of the people. None of them was a man of title."

"It was well known among the people of Mbanta that their gods and ancestors were sometimes long-suffering and
would deliberately allow a man to go on den hg them. But even is such cases they set their limit at seven market
weeks or twenty-eight days. Beyond that limit no man was suffered to go. And so excitement mounted in the village as
the seventh week approached since the impudent missionaries built their church in the Evil Forest. The villagers were
so certain about the doom that awaited these men that one or two converts thought it was wise to suspend their
allegiance to the new faith.

"The royal python was the most revered animal in Mbanta and all the surrounding clans. It was addressed as 'Our
Father,' and was allowed to go wherever it chose, even into people's beds. It ate rats in the house and sometimes
swallowed hens' eggs. If a clansman killed a royal python accidentally, he made sacrifices of atonement and performed
an expensive burial ceremony as was done for a great man. No punishment was prescribed for a man who killed the
python knowingly. Nobody thought that such a thing could ever happen."
