“O’ spider will you dance (personification), and kill the fiend (hyperbole) so I too can dance,” enchanted by the old shaman. This is a spiritual ritual of my tribe, involving the use of ten spiders and some bizarre spells for protection of one’s home from jeopardy or danger. There are also some spells that can make a person as strong as an elephant (simile) and as quick as a leopard (simile). This has been practised for hundred of years and is one of the unique characters in our tribe. The old shaman is my great grandfather and aged 121 years old. He is old at age but young at heart (metaphor).
