Gold Coins
Based on the writings of Ari in "The Tree of Life," p 125, Branch no. 5
|
Once a king wished to send
A large sum of gold coins
To his son,
Who was on a faraway island.
|
|
But alas, all the people in his kingdom
Were thieves and crooks
And he had no trusted servants.
|
|
What did he do?
|
|
He exchanged the coins
For small change
And sent the money
To his son,
Borne by many servants.
|
|
|
|
In this way, such a theft
Would not be worth
Blemishing the honor
Of the kingdom.
