If
you
recall
that your brother
has anything against you,
leave your gift there at the altar, go first
and be reconciled with your brother.
(Gospel)
Solomon-Moves-Fast
came home
drunk from the dance
and after his
mother
closed the door
to his face
tore up her
cabin
with an ax
doing less harm
than his father
did running off
with another woman
Solomon
repaired the cabin
before
the frost
