When you bring a slave girl from the hills, she brings both good and evil with her. The good is in the hands; the evil is in the heart. The heart does not let go of the good; but the heart cannot let go of the evil either. As if it were a watery place, the heart does not abandon the good. Evil is a storeroom ……. { (1 ms. adds:) (2 lines unclear) } May the boat with the evil sink in the river! May his waterskin split in the desert!
