She went off. She gnawed and gnawed and then God asked, "Why doesn't Death come back?"

"She's gone. For ten years She's gnawing the tender young shoots." "Who sent Her to do that?" "Why, I did." "Why ever did you do that?" "Just because. I ordered Her." "So She's gone. You'd better take yourself away from me. Wherever

you want, go. You're too self-willed." "How? And won't you sell me a house?" "You'll have no houses at all. Get out of my kingdom." So the soldier set off to search for a house for himself on earth and for

truth too.
