the evening succeeding the harvest. the
wheat having been gathered III separate
shocks, the elder brother said unto his
wife My younger brother Is unable to
bear the burden and heat Of the day; L

Younger brother, being actuated by the
same benevolent motives, said within him.

course of events transpired for several
nights, when each resolved In his OWE
mind to stand guard and solve the mystery
They did so, when on the following night,
they met each other half way between their
