Under the Banyan Tree- last quote

Nambi was the small village’s entertainment. Although he was illiterate the stories Nambi told were magnificent. Nambi’s deep meditation gave him the stories to tell which took days to finish. Unfortunately Nambi was growing old and finally became speechless. He stated a great quote, “It is the Mother who gives the gifts; and it is she who takes away the gifts”. Nambi spent his last days in silence. I feel sorry for him because his imagination was incredible. The last story he told the village wasn’t even a story at all, he said, “Goddess be thanked…These are my last words on this earth; and this is my greatest story”. I feel as if Nambi realized his days of storytelling were over. The village people didn’t truly understand what Nambi was saying, they came for a story and great entertainment, they didn’t come for Nambi’s last words! “The rest of his life (he lived for a few more years) was one great consummate silence”. I feel as if he was carrying a great amount of stress and pressure. The village people looked up to him and his great stories. When Nambi had nothing else to say, they were left with confusion.
