Tyler Swain Madagascar Day 50

March 18, Madagascar Day 50


So class this morning was really fun as we welcomed Prince Tazinidrinzy (He corrected us when we called him Mr. as he considers himself a prince). We learned about Fortune Telling and its role in traditional religion. He concluded the talk by reading our fortunes. He reads the seeds of the Sikidy tree to discern what the ancestors are trying to convey. Well, the ancestors weren't really feeling us because when he told us the divine information about the two girls who volunteered we found out that one of the students likes to go to bed early and study and that another is apparently gassy, so she should watch out. I didn't get my fortune read, but hopefully there's no gas in sight.
