| "Three young men came before me and said: "Our king, we are ox-drivers. The ox belongs to one man, the cow belongs to one man, and the waggon belongs to one man. We became thirsty and had no water. We said to the owner of the ox," If you were to draw some water, then we could drink!". And he said," What if my ox is devoured by a lion? I will not leave my ox!". We said to the owner of the cow," If you were to draw some water, then we could drink!". And he said," What if my cow went off into the desert? I will not leave my cow!". We said to the owner of the waggon," If you were to draw some water, then we could drink!". And he said," What if the load were removed from my waggon? I will not leave my waggon!" he said." Come on, let's all go! Come on, and let's return together!"""
