I to myself

At one time a shepherd lived in a hut in Leizadi. Every day, by the time he had the brew prepared, a young gentile came down from the cave above, sat on a stone seat and drank it all.

On one occasion the shepherd told a friend what happened and his friend told him to have the stone seat burning hot for when the gentile came down the next time.

And that´s what happened, the next day he did what his friend recommended. And the Gentile came just after the shepherd took the stone seat out of the fire. He sat in the seat as always but immediately began to shout and fled.

When his cries were heard, the Gentile’s parents went outside the cave and asked their son, “Who did it? Who did it?” “I myself, I myself.” “This will have come in handy to that shepherd boy over there,” they said, and brought the subject to a close.
