A team of scientists goes into the jungle. They plan to penetrate an unknown part of the jungle. A few natives are along to provide local information and help carry the packs. The researchers move on quickly through the jungle as they don't want to lose any time. In the first few days they move along quite well. Suddenly the natives don't move any further. They sit down and stay put for several days without giving any reason. Then, all of a sudden they stand up again and continue to march through the jungle. The leader of the scientists asks the leader of the natives why they have done such a thing. He replies: 'We were too fast for our souls. So we had to wait until they caught up with us.'
