In the Eagle Colony - Franz Kafka

A book in the colony of Al-Qaaab. When the explorer approached, some of them rose. They stood beside the wall, and their eyes fixed on him. "Foreigner," the whisper circulated around the explorer, "and he wants to see the grave." They moved one of the tables aside, and indeed there was a tombstone underneath. It was an ordinary stone, low enough to hide under the table. There was writing on it in very small letters, forcing the explorer to kneel down to read it. The inscription read: "Here lies the old leader. And his followers, who are now forbidden to reveal themselves, have dug this grave for him and placed this marker on it. And the prophecy says that after a certain number of years, the leader will rise from his grave, and from this house, his followers will come out to reclaim the colony and restore it to their control... So believe and wait."
