The Preparation

"Now that we are all gathered, all those in support of proceeding with the plan, raise your raise?" The Village Chief's voice resonated in the gathering, where key figures from the village had convened. Seated beside the Village Chieftess, he scanned the faces of those assembled. One by one, hands were raised in a show of support for the proposed plan.

Acknowledging their unified stance, the Village Chief lowered his hand, a silent cue for the others to do the same. "And now, those in favour of exploring alternative options, instead of proceeding as planned?" he asked, opening the floor for discussion.

Seeing that no one raised their hands, the Village Chief nodded in approval, a satisfied gleam in his eyes. He announced, "With everyone in agreement, now we can proceed. Each of you must make sure that your part in the plan is executed faultlessly, as we aim to resolve this issue within the next three to four days."
