Cain and Abel came to the banks of an
enormous lake. They had never seen anything like it.
“There’s something inside it,”
said Abel, looking into the water, not knowing that it was his
reflection. Cain noticed the same thing, and raised his staff.
The image did the same thing. Cain stood
waiting for the blow; his image did the same. Abel studied the
surface of the water. He smiled, and the image smiled. He laughed out
loud, and saw the other imitating him. As they walked away, Cain
thought:
“How aggressive those creatures are
who live in there.”
And Abel told himself:
“I’d like to return, for I met
someone both handsome and in good humor.”
