Identifying a Theme Statement
What theme is supported by the passage?
Food is the most important thing,
O Curiosity can lead people into danger.
O Be prepared for anything.
My men came pressing round me, pleading:
"Why not take these
cheeses, get them stowed, come back,
throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?
We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say
put out again on good salt water!
Ah,
how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished
to see the caveman, what he had to offer-
no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends.
- The Odyssey,
Homer
