Then he asked him how long it would
take him to pay the money back.
"Seven years" replied Omer.
And If you can't pay me at the end
Of seven years, what shall we do thenf ?"
After reflection, they caused the follow
ing agreement to be registered in presence
of the Judge (Cadf) 7GA
If .Omer, in seven years, has not re-
turned Isaac the thirty purses borrowed,
let Isaac, in presence of the tribunal, cut
off drachm of Omer's tongue"
Who was happier than young Omer ?
All that day he could think of nothing
but his wedding. What grand repast
he would giveI What beautiful dresses
he would give to his beautiful Meira. In
a1Word, he never inquired whether he
could return his friends money; he only
th6aghtaof the best way to spend it
AT the end of month Meira was
brought into rich Omer's dwelling. The
feast lasted eight whole days. Everyone
asked whence came to Omer that fortune
whichenabled him to display such mag;
nihcence. Many supposed that he had
not found it within the ground. There is
an old proverb which says, Labor is
better than money" And another still
which says, 1t is not sufficient to sing in
viIlages."
Our omer, after the wedding, felt no
uneasiness he said to himself -
@Ihave still fifteen purses left Ishall

for four years. During that time no sim
gle care was visible upon his brow. Prob
ably he had forgotten both the borrowed
money and his agreement; but the fifth
year came, and then people began 70 reao
upon his physiognomy that something
was gnaW1ng him. On the seventh year,
his countenance was entirely changed
His wife and friends often caught him
weeping. In vain they asked the cause OF
his grief he refused to answer.
: Nobody" said he, can assist me;
leave me-" ----'..,.
:. such was always his answer. Mean
