Wisdom Tales

My wisdom tales story is The Red and Blue Coat. The Red and Blue Coat is about two friends fighting. One day there was a trickster that decided that he should wear a red and blue coat to test the two friends’ friendship. The trickster walked up to the road in between the two houses. One friend saw a blue coat and the other friend saw a red coat. They started arguing to whether the coat was blue or red. Then the arguing went to fighting. Eventually the trickster came back and showed them that the coat was blue and red. The friends stopped arguing and fighting and got mad at the trickster. This story takes place in Africa (more specifically Ethiopia.) The moral of this story is that there are two sides to a conversation. That is my wisdom tale is about.
