The five journeyed on together. They went on and on and saw a man lying in a brook and he sipped up all its waters and yet cried, "O little father, I am parched with thirst."
"That is a brave fellow. He drinks up the whole brook and still says he is thirsty," said the youth.
"I am no brave fellow. He who has pierced a steel shield with a steel spear is a brave fellow," said the thirsty man.
"I am he. Let us be brothers."
The six journeyed on together. They went on and on and saw a shepherd who was playing the pipes, and mountains and valleys, fields and forests, men and animals, danced to the music.
"That seems to me to be a brave fellow. He makes mountains and valleys dance," said the youth.
"I am no brave fellow. He who has pierced a steel shield with a steel spear is a brave fellow," said the musical man.
"I am he. Let us be brothers," said the youth.
The seven journeyed on together.
"Brother who hast pierced a steel shield with a steel spear, whither is God leading us?"
