Dessuten, og det var kanskje det som fikk dem raskest ned på jorden, hadde de sett hvordan de hvite, som hadde lært dem å ikke drepe hverandre, men i stedet slutte med stammekrigene, i fire år hadde jaktet på hverandre av uklare grunner og med et imponerende våpenarsenal, i en konflikt som krevde flere liv enn alle stammekrigene de kunne huske til sammen.- Also, and it was perhaps that that got them quickest down on the ground, they had seen how the whites had taught them to not kill each other, but instead finish with tribal wars, for four years they had hunted one another for unclear reasons with an impressive arsenal of weapons in a conflict that claimed more lives than all the tribal wars they could remember put together.
