The child answered:
"When the people were coming she rushed out of the hut, woke me, and put the roll under my coat, and said, 'Give it to Meir when he comes.'"
Meir began to tremble.
"And afterwards?" he asked, "afterwards?"
"Afterwards, Morejne, she hid me in the bush, and went back to the hut."
"How many people were there?"
"Two, Morejne, three—ten—I don't know."
"And what did they do? What did the people do?"
"The people came, Morejne, and shouted and screamed at her to give up the writing; and she screamed that she would not, and the goat in the entrance ran about and bleated."
Meir trembled in all his limbs.
