      I still can’t figure out why this is taught to children. What value does it offer, other than being generally well written, which a lot of other less disturbing stories also are? Did the teachers just hate us?

        The theme I remember is that if established in a community and reinforced by tradition, any violence could be perpetuated and even endorsed.
