2. Because you will have to travel over

than buGe.. of flowers
3. Because the words of actions involved
in it are more likely than otherwise to be
misunderstood, and therefore to be severely
judged.
4. Because this is one wayto please and
give great advantage to great enemy of

the " Prince of the World" and who has
caught more people than can be counted in
this very trap.
5. Because, in so doing, you are likely
