Karnath & Manimal
Manimal
Manimal watched a hawk swoop, noted its silent approach, and wondered if Karnath would notice that the bird’s tactics mirror a battlefield strategy.
Karnath
You’re right. The hawk moves like a commander, silent but decisive. If I were on that ground I’d see the same patterns.
Manimal
Manimal nods, eyes following the hawk’s silent sweep, and thinks, “That bird’s a natural commander, just like a well‑drawn flowchart.” He adds, “If you were down there, you’d see the same sharp tactics and you’d probably get a taste of that marshmallow reward after the shot.”
Karnath
Indeed, the hawk’s silent sweep is like a plan laid out before the fight. I would see the same clear, decisive moves. And if the reward were marshmallow, I’d accept it only if it came with a lesson.
Manimal
Manimal smiles, thinking the hawk’s silent sweep really is a natural flowchart, and he says, “He’ll get the marshmallow after the shot, but only if the lesson comes first, just like a good field guide.”
Karnath
Indeed, the hawk reminds us that skill and lesson come first; only then do we enjoy the reward.
