You have but three days more to fast, then glory and honor will be yours." The boy said nothing more, but, covering himself closer, he lay until the eleventh day, when he spoke again: "My father," said he, "the dreams forebode evil. May I break my fast now, and at a better time make a new one?" "My son," replied the old man again, "you know not what you ask. Wait patiently a little longer.
