[GGJ.05_207,02] But Aziona and Hiram said, ―Now we are only supposed to
work. Only afterwards the necessary explanation will follow!‖
[GGJ.05_207,03] At this they cleared up cheerfully, and the work soon
reached its end. Immediately several pieces of fishing tackle were brought
onto the ship, and the already somewhat grown-up children of Aziona and
Hiram immediately began to fish and in a short time they had caught a large
amount of the noblest and largest fish, so that they soon filled their
containers in the water completely.
[GGJ.05_207,04] But in the meantime I had also laid My opinion most firmly
on the hearts of the two fishermen, so that they then wrote very seriously into
their hearts that they would never again in their whole lives, for all the
treasures of the world, commit even the slightest betrayal of anyone. I
assigned them an old, but still perfectly useable fishing boat of Aziona‘s and
ordered them to make themselves scarce and not to tell anyone from where
they came, and where the big ship had remained. For those whose property
it was, were no longer, and those to whom it now belonged possessed it as a
legal property along with everything that it carried.
[GGJ.05_207,05] At this they both thanked Me, promised to keep everything
most holy their whole lives long, then boarded the boat and hurried away as
fast as possible. But they had several hours to go before they reached their
home, where they were badly received, because they had not brought any
payment home at all; for both had bad wives and had to then fish most
arduously for a whole week in order to make up for what they had missed.
Indeed they were pestered with all sorts of questions – such as: where they
had been and what they had done – but they remained as silent as fish in
water and gave no-one any account.
[GGJ.05_207,06] Hiram and Aziona however came, after they had put
everything away, and thanked Me from the bottom of their hearts for the
great and rich flotsam and asked Me about the breakfast.
[GGJ.05_207,07] But I said, ―What you have, fish that are fresh and caught
this morning, bring them here, then bread and some wine! But make enough
that also your better neighbors can take part, which you may invite them to
do! At the breakfast we will then discuss and explain several extremely great
and important things. I will give you good introduction as to the business of
converting your neighbors and make your task much easier. Now you may go
and order your things! But I will now rest for an hour with My disciples.‖
[GGJ.05_207,08] At this both of them went away, arranged everything in the
kitchen and then went themselves to the neighbors, who were partly still
occupied with the fishing, and gave them the invitation to the morning meal.
The neighbors were very amazed and at the same time very cheerfully
touched at such an invitation, but at the same time they mentioned their
