Native: Belonging to a person by birth or to a thing by nature

Many moons ago, our people showed us, sometimes, meaningful stories through tubes. Lou Grant came to us every 7 days, in season, to speak out against injustice and to convey understanding. One such story dealt with
the skywalkers. Not those who spawned Luke and Leia but those who descended from ancient warriors who lived high above the ground on the very edge of cliffs. These people had no word for acrophobia. In modern times they are sought after for their ability to flawlessly craft structures that touch the sky.
Lou told us of two from these tribes. One the wise elder who knew the real value of such people. The other a lost soul trying to find his path.

Lou was able to get the lost soul a chance to speak with the elder.
But the lost one awoke that day and realized that it was a fine day to walk
and observe the ways of Mother Earth.

Lou left the Elder, embarrassed and disappointed by the one he thought HE had saved. Hours later a wired device on his desk began to ring, he picked up the curved top part of this contraption and placed it to his ear so that the bottom of the curve arrived at his mouth. He spoke into it and the voice of the Elder spoke.

“I have hired him. He will make an excellent employee. Thank you for directing him to me.”

“But he was late”, protested Lou.

“No, you were early.” came the reply.
