Is all yours, the Lord has given it you. Go,
provide house, get married and live COM

and lived very comfortably. This shepherd,
after little time, became so rich and pros
porous that there was nobody richer than he
in his own or the neighboring villages. He
had shepherds, cowherds, swine
herds, grooms and everything on q
