<p class="par first">In a certain town there lived a man of fierce and
ungovernable disposition, who in moments of anger used to beat his
mother. One day this parent, thus beaten, screamed out, “Oh, God,
why do you not strike dead this wicked man who beats his
mother?”</p>
<p class="par">The beating over, the son thrust his sickle through his
belt and went slowly off to the fields where he was engaged by a
neighbour in reaping buckwheat. The day was fine, and the sky
beautifully clear. Suddenly a dark fleck of cloud appeared in
mid-heaven, and a little later all the sky became black. Furious
thunder followed, and rain came on. The village people looked out
toward the field, where the flashes of lightning were specially
noticeable. They seemed to see there a man with lifted sickle trying to
ward them off. When the storm had cleared away, they went to see, and
lo, they found the man who <span class="pagenum">[<SPAN name="xd21e2908"
href="#xd21e2908" name="xd21e2908">207</SPAN>]</span>had beaten his mother
struck dead and riven to pieces.</p>
<p class="par">God takes note of evil doers on this earth, and deals
with them as they deserve. How greatly should we fear!</p>
