The Old Lyrist
When
young and energetic, the lyrist played his lyre melodiously and sung
merrily. His sweet songs charmed everybody and he was rewarded well.
But now that he was old his music jarred and he earned his bread in
the street. Tired with his wandering life he went to a graveyard and
begged God to help him. God ordered the commander of the country to
take seven hundred gold coins to the lyrist and give him more gold when
he had spent his cash. His lyre had opened the gate of paradise for
him.
