clare_dragonflyThere once was a man of our people who had a secret hidden under his lands.
This was in the old country, you understand, child—the land where our ancestors came from, where we had lands and fields and crops and cattle. The lands I speak of were not like the tiny window box we have in our Sivrit ghetto, nor even the great city of Rhakah, where he might have a yard as big as a coffin.
The lands that hid the secret were as big as the city of Rhakah, and bigger. They went as far as the eye can see, and farther. They were as wide as the arms of a loving father, and wider.
The man of our people had his sheep, and he fed and watered them on his lands. He had his crops, and he grew and plowed them on his lands. He had his children, and he worked and reared them on his lands.
But under it all he had a secret. The sheep did not know it, the crops did not know it, and even the children did not know it.
