 but a little. Those sitting there on the third row heard here and 

 there. Those sitting last distinguished a single word now and 

 then. It was thus because of the rustling of some plants. When their 

 days there were at an end, gathering together then- sacred tilings 

 there they arose. "Now what shaU it be called here?" "Well, here 

 it shall be called soot-inside-world, because we stiU can not recognize
