Inheritance. Red Hill

Long ago, swordfish repeatedly attacked the villagers living along the coast, their sharp snouts piercing through the bodies of the people and spreading fear throughout the community. The ruler was helpless, until a group of clever children came up with a solution: they built a barrier using banana tree trunks. Just as they had planned, the swordfish became trapped, bringing peace and safety back to the villagers. Impressed by the children’s intelligence, the ruler chose not to punish them but instead rewarded one of them by appointing him as a guardian. From then on, as villagers gazed upon the reddish soil of the hillside glowing in the evening sun, they named the place “Redhill”, a symbol of wisdom and the power of protection.
