Tale 16
Moses-pehambar and shepherd
Moses-pehambar was only from the prophets, who could speak with the god. When he was prayed, the mountain hoisted higher, and the sky lowered, he raised on a mountain and talked to the Creator of World.
Once people said to Moses-pehambar:
- Moses, it is already is no rain no rain for a long time. The cattle perishes from thirst, the fields have dried up, the ground has cracked with a drought, go to Lord of World, aks him that will be in future with us.
Has gone Moses to mountains.
He prayed, the mountains Tur and Mus were pushed up, the palate lowered. Moses closed eyes before the god and started talking:
- Oh, lord, the people ask to know, how long will be drought on the ground. There are no rain, all alive perishes.
- Go and look, if there are a water in the sea will be a rain, - the god answered.
On return path Moses met a shepherd. The shepherd stopped it and has said:
- Moses-pehambar, my tent stands at edge of gorge, on the coast. The water will lift and wash it out. Pass to my family: till it is not late, leave that place.
Moses thought: "Look, I go from the god, even he does not know, that will happen, and this shepherd speaks, that there will be a deluge". Laughed Moses at the words of this shepherd and went further.
The night was dropped on the earth. Slept Moses in the house of one gavan. The gavan gave to Moses the half of his last piece of bread and said before going to bed:
- Moses, you see sacred, so that can lie down between me and my wife, then in the night there will not be so coldly for you. Then he called the wife in the side and has said to her:
- Pour a water in a sieve and then hang up it and a lamp with lighted candle above our heads.
In midnight for Moses felt sin desires in relation to the wife of the master. As soon as he thought it, as the water from sieve flow out and the candle died out.
Gavan woke up and said to the wife:
- Rise and pour water in a sieve, and do not forget to light the candle .
Could not restrain himself Moses and asked:
- Dear, say me, what all this means?
- Listen, let the Lord would be always pleased with you, Moses. Since the day, when I have got the wife in this house, we live with her like brother and sister. At the night above our heads we hang a sieve with water in it and light a candle. When one of us felt sin desire, the water flows out from a sieve and suppress a fire. This night the water has flowed out from a sieve, and candle has died out. Signifies, you have wanted to disgrace my wife.
Took offence Moses at him and left. On the road he has seen the shepherd's tent and was surprised of his foresight.
He returned back to the god again.
Prayed, the mounts were pushed upward, the sky lowered down. Moses said:
- Oh, creator! You said to me, that there are can not be rain. But on the way I have met the shepherd, and he said to me: "Say to my family, that there will be a shower, let they will take the things and are arise to the in mountains". I in heart I laughed at him and nothing passed. And now see, that the his words was true and water destroyed his tent.
God answered to him:
- Moses, you are not as perspicacious as the shepherd and such sacred as gavan. Do not you know, what each God's creation is not similar to other? When you have met the shepherd, the rain yet was not begin, you have left - the shower has rushed.
That is why they say:
- Each God's hour is not similar to other.
