STORIES OF MEN WHO FOLLOWED DESPISED HANDICRAFTS. CCCCLXIX. A certain man came to a barber and said to him, "Shave my head for me and take heed "that thou handle the razor skilfully. Be careful of my "ears and do not gash me, and do not leave a hair any- "where." The barber said to him, "Rest assured that "I will shave thy head as thou commandest me, and I "will do so in such a way that everyone who seeth it "shall wish to stroke it with his hand." CCCCLXX. A certain weaver came to a judge and asked him, saying, "If a judicial case required men "(i. e., witnesses) and people asked me to come to bear "witness before thee on a certain matter, wouldst thou "receive my testimony?" The judge replied to him, "Yes, if it were accompanied by that of three other "trustworthy witnesses." And the weaver said to him, "Well and good, I will tell these three witnesses that "they may be ready beforehand, and then, [when] they "let me know, I will come." CCCCLXXI. Another weaver wished to prophesy, and when certain folk said to him, "No one ever saw "a prophet who was a weaver," he replied, "Shepherds, "in spite of their exceedingly great simplicity, have been "employed as prophets, but weavers have never been "so employed."

He repHed, "Honey and pounded sesame seeds." CCCCLXXIII. Luck came to a certain weaver and he became a governor. And one day his music player said to him, "O master, give me a fine cloak wherein "I may dress myself at the feast." He replied to him, "Bring me the stuff for weaving it, and in the three "days which are yet to pass before the feast day I will "make for thee a cloak." CCCCLXXIV. Another man said, "The intelligence "of seventy women is like unto that of one man, and "the mind of seventy weavers is as that of one woman." CCCCLXXV. Another man said, "They were weavers "who stole Joseph's cup, and the rod of Moses, and the "fleece of Gideon, and the sling of David, and the "swaddling bands of John, and the sandals of the "Apostles; and when Mary asked them to shew her "the way to the Sepulchre, they sent her by a wrong "road. For this reason she prayed and entreated her "Lord, saying, 'Wherever weavers live let them toil "'with their hands and feet for others, and let no ever come upon them.'" CCCCLXXVI. Another man went to '"blessing a tooth-drawer to extract for him a tooth which was diseased, and the man said, tooth-drawer asked him for a susa; and the "I will not give a whole zuza,, but only a half." Then the handicraftsman said to him," Less than a zuza I will not take, but if thou wishest it, and on account "of thine honourable position, I will pull out another "tooth also, and I will not charge thee any more than "the zusa." CCCCLX,XVII. Another man had a diseased tooth Q2
