Chapter 8 The Story of Judt and Two Brothers-3

Judt hadn't caught a fish for seven days in a row, and he was in a difficult situation and his life was difficult.On the eighth day, he said to himself: "Go to Lake Columbus today and try your luck!" So he came to the shore of Lake Columbus full of hope.Just as he was about to get off the net, a man from MGL suddenly appeared in front of him. Judt looked carefully and saw that man was riding a mule, well dressed, with an embroidered saddle bag on the mule's back. The man dismounted from his mule and greeted kindly, "Hello, Judt." "Hello, sir," Judt answered him.

"Jude, there's one thing I want to ask of you. It will only do you good if you listen to me, and you'll be my friend." "Sir, what's the matter with you, just tell me, I will listen to you, and I will do what you say." "That's good! You read the first chapter." Judt then read the first chapter.The Moroccan took out a ribbon and said to him: "Take my arms tight with this strap, and push me into the lake, and you wait and see. If my hands stick out of the water, cast your net for me; and if you see my feet Stick out of the water, and that means I'm dead. You don't have to be afraid, and don't worry about me. All you have to do is take the mule to the market and give it to a Jewish merchant named Mir. He will reward you with a hundred Gold coins, you take the flowers. I just hope you will keep the secret for me."

Judt listened to him and promised to do as he said. The Moroccan said to him: "Tie it tight!" Then he said: "Push me into the lake quickly." Judt pushed hard, and he fell into the lake. After a while, two feet appeared on the water. Judt realized that the gentleman had drowned, so he led the mule as he said, and went to the market, where he saw a Jew sitting in the distance.When the man saw the mule, he sighed, "He's dead!" Then he said, "Greed has ruined him!" So he took the mule from Judt, gave him a hundred ducats, and told him to keep it secret.

Judt bought food with the money, went to the bakery to pay back the money for the bread, and said, "Please accept this gold coin." The bread seller took the money and said to him, "I should give you two days' worth of bread."
