ABSTRACT

Once upon a time there were two hunters who went hunting together. While they were in the forest, they were overtaken by darkness and could not find their way out. They wandered about until they saw a small light in the distance. When they approached it, they found a hut in which a bright fire was burning, but there was not a human soul to be seen. They went inside and found a table covered with food and wine, and sat down and ate and drank to their hearts’ content. Afterward they moved their chairs closer to the fireplace to warm themselves. As they were sitting there, one of them said, “Do you smell the heavenly aroma in this hut? I wonder where it comes from.”
