harshly that one of them had predicted
that his master would never live to
taste of its wine. When the vintage
came. however, the king called for a
cup of wine and asked the slave what
he though of his prophecy then. Il

haste, informing the king that a wild
boar had broken into his vineyard and

to attack the ravager and was killed
