According to destiny one speaks, According to destiny one eats.
According to destiny a way is made, According to destiny one hears and sees
According to destiny the breath is taken, what shall I go to ask a leaned man?

But Djabo the spotted cat man was not convinced and persuaded Yagul not to listen to Moon. So Yagul told Moon "No I shall just die." When Djabo himself was sick, Moon tried to help him too.
