“Even a four-legged elephant can stumble, and a wise person can forget.” However, if I do not do it, it will not happen. Therefore, I worry in advance that there may be shortcomings in my speech, and I kindly ask for your patience and forgiveness.” - Grandfather Pka Ta Soy. He was that last human being alive to have memorized The Reamker. He died in 1993.
