Interpretation of African Proverb

"Untill the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always have the best part of the story."
This sentence could mean many diffrent things to many diffrent people. To me this statement is saying that you must hear all sides of the story or you arent going to hear the truth. The hunter is always the main charater and you always get to hear his point of view. The lion could have more to say that could change the whole story. This goes back to the video we just watched TED. When they talk about making stereo types, well thats what will happen if you only hear one side of the story. You need to hear every point of view so you can make your own opinion about the story.
