"There isn't any food for them, but they can have a good drink while we eat our lunch, and then we just must find that path." They sat down on a rock and Leneli opened the bundle of food which the old herdsman had given them. "Isn't it queer?" said she, as she handed Seppi a piece of cheese, "I'm not as scared as I was before that dreadful eagle came. Are you?"
So while they sat discoursing in this manner, supper was served in, and the servants of the herdsman, who had been out all day in the fields, came in to supper, and took their seats at the fire, for the night was bitter and frosty.
As the herdsman, stick in hand, protects the herd, even so should the Kshatriya always protect the Vedas and the Brahmanas. Indeed, the Kshatriya should protect all righteous Brahmanas even as a sire protects his sons. He should always have his eye upon the house of the Brahmanas for seeing that their means of subsistence may not be wanting.""
Their rich men have the money and the influence; and there are enough of their poorer folk scattered through Europe to make any land blossom like the rose, if they have the will and the patience for the slow toil of the husbandman and the vine-dresser and the shepherd and the herdsman. But the proud kingdom of David and Solomon will never be restored; not even the tributary kingdom of Herod.
A reminiscence of the manner in which these old representatives of the deity were put to death is perhaps preserved in the famous story of Marsyas. He was said to be a Phrygian satyr or Silenus, according to others a shepherd or herdsman, who played sweetly on the flute. A friend of Cybele, he roamed the country with the disconsolate goddess to soothe her grief for the death of Attis.
The sight gladdened his heart the sheep and the shepherd lad at least were as he had hoped to find them. "Good-day!" he said heartily. "And whose lad are you, little man?" "Just Stina's boy," answered the young herdsman easily, from his seat by the wayside. "Ho, are you? ... yes." The wanderer stepped across the ditch, sat down by the wayside, and lit his pipe. "And what's the news in the place?
Down nearly at the foot, close by the bed of the Cedron, he came to the intersection with the road leading south to the village of Siloam and the pool of that name. There he fell in with a herdsman driving some sheep to market. He spoke to the man, and joined him, and in his company passed by Gethsemane on into the city through the Fish Gate.
There were the tiller of the soil, the herdsman, the smith who forged the tools and weapons of bronze, the joiner or carpenter who built the houses, and the weaver who made the clothing required for protection against a climate which was usually cold. Then there was also the boat-builder, for the Aryans had boats, though moved only by oars.
If he obeys my commands you shall never lack bread and salt, and you may rest assured that my royal favour will not fail you in time of need." The herdsman gave his youngest son the king's message. "The king, I see," he replied, "is fond of a good bargain; he does not ask, he commands and insists upon a fool fetching him acorns of solid gold in return for promises made of air. No, I shall not go."
Fowls had to be carefully tended, protected from foxes, hawks and other enemies; the fierce half-wild hogs could take care of themselves. All that they needed was a peasant herdsman with a dog to keep them together and see that thieving neighbors did not help themselves.
