ABSTRACT

There was once a Man of Auzen (1), and ever since he had been born he had never had a Child, and the Townspeople used to mock him. So he told his Wife that he was going to get a Son from a certain city, and she said " Let us go by all means," and he said " Very well." Now as they were travelling along, they came upon a Boy lying in the road, his mouth was full of ants (2) and dirt, perhaps something had killed him, they did not know. So they lifted him up, and bathed him, and took the ants out of his mouth. Then the Man of Auzen said " Good, let us go home, what we were seeking we have found" (3). So they returned.
