“He knew his father would not have approved. A man is supposed to be fierce. A man is a hunter and a warrior. A MAN beats his mate because she is smaller and gentler than he is (Okor scowled as he thought this). A man should not be gentle. All other creatures on earth walk in fear of the one called Man. Man does not paint faces on little girls' dolls, and he does not rescue drowning insects - yet I knowthese things to be right and good - for I am different. I am still a man, but I am the Strange One - that is what I am. Okor wept.”
