ABSTRACT

The Lord said to himself, “What am I to do? If I don’t grant him this favor, he won’t leave me in peace.”

So the Lord turned to him and said, “So be it!” And as soon as he said this, Death was set free. Well, she let Motive live for

a few more years, and then went to fetch him. Since then, people say, “Death does not come without Motive.”163
