sweet story good night - part 4 Some time later, but the man was awakened by noises that he had heard so on his farm before. An angry crowd seemed to have gathered, he heard excited talk and even the clatter of weapons. No sooner had he gone to the window, he has already been discussed loudly and threateningly. "Come with us, we have to negotiate with you," That does not sound like a friendly invitation, and they had it in the next moment, already bound and a camel set. In their midst he had with the only major town in the area to ride. Once there, already an even bigger crowd waiting for him. There were the traders from the market, lived in this village and he knew from his occasional purchases. They placed him in the middle of the square and the judges and elders of the village stepped forward. So that was it: They did not want to negotiate with him rather than him. They placed him in court.
The elder began to put forward the accusations: "You have arbitrarily expand your source and operates large amounts of water just in the desert. Not only that, this shows that you are not able to keep your irrigation system in order ... no, you all sorts of useless rabble lure in our area that is spreading to new rivers makes. These people were as yet our workers and customers. With the money that they could earn in our fields, they also bought the market our products. From this money we took from them, we have fed ourselves and our families! But they take nothing from the . Water flowing from your water source and its players to stop and eat at their own fruit round and fat, without which we could earn a penny of it, "
affirmative murmur rose and a few men shouted:" Are we our families are now about to starve? "" A disgrace against nature and each order, what he is doing! "" He belongs to the mob but even if he allows such a thing! "
The elder raised his hand to quiet again prevailed and continued: "Not only do you attract useless pack and take us to our customers and our livelihood. The unusual water lures and wild animals from deep in the desert. Everywhere you see wolves and hyenas, and worse to touch the water points and it's only a matter of time before they begin to come here and break our herds. A miracle that this has happened yet. More and more individual streams penetrate your water before in our area. Wherever we are trying to stop them with dams and ditches, they break after a short while back and the water continues to flow. Do you want to destroy us? What is the aim of your actions? Oh, we will force you to plug this hole, whether you like it or not, "With a threatening gesture, he ended:" Now tell me, what did you do to your ? Defense put forward "
The man stood up and spoke in a low, firm voice, but his story: from the strange man he saw one morning at the source and how it was always stronger for it. As he did not know how he should hold all the water it, causing damage. And how he finally decided nothing about it, the other took her part of his blessing. Also on the emerging "peaceful relations between all living in these waters and the restored health of the former beggars and have-nots, he said. Finally he concluded his speech: "I do not think I can reduce this source. I have not opened, so I'll can not close again. And I also see no reason to. Much of what was previously separated, has combined this water. People become neighbors, and where once scarred country separated our yards, is now a new green and new life emerged. You are afraid and fear for your livelihood. But you say yourself that the water penetrates unstoppable and soon reach your area. What keeps you up, you also take your share of it? Not the plight of the rabble, as you call it, to use it for life and eat, but what everyone here is freely available. No, I can not and will not reduce this current. Much more I invite you to use it and to rest your life on it! You can kill me if you want to appease your anger by such guilt. vermögt The source, however, it thus halting any more than I would be able to do so. "Much stronger than the beginning of his speech sounded these words.
whether he had made an impression, he could not say. In any case, they untied him and sent him to walk back home with the promise that this problem no longer have to wait long for a solution. It sounded more like a threat. It took me a very long time before he got home. Its security, however, that he had spoken correctly and that no such Change that emanated from the small source could be reversed, was growing with every step.
And indeed, the very next day he was told that at the edge of the green country, some families from the village of newly settled. And as he passed by there a few days later, he saw her already busy working on building their new homes. He did not speak to it, but her shy smile and reflected the wishes that she had understood his speech. The group, which had given him a solution to the problem threatened, did not return to his farm. Some of them he met later in the feasts, they still celebrated regularly.
Of the few others said that they left, to lead a life in another area, which is very little different from the lives of the people before them and the lives of their grandchildren would be very similar.
