“Taireva” (We were telling you), is about those children who do no listen. You will be instructing the child, “You! Things aren’t looking good where you are going. There, where you are going, you don’t know how things are.” And you reply, “What are you talking about? This person talks too much.” You go, and upon arriving you discovered whatever it is that you discover there, and you come back. They know, and they say, “We told you so, we told you so. Now you have seen it for yourself.” Yes, it is about warning someone. A person should be educable. Not like a fool, who can be educated only once he’s returned. You are not a fool, so listen when you are instructed! When you travel, you must travel informed. Now, if you act like a fool who can only be informed once he’s returned, things won’t work out.
