There all was quiet, and the inhabitants lay under the fig-trees although it was not the Sabbath.

Then Jesus asked: "Why do they not work ?" And one of the villagers said: "We should like to work, but we have no tools.

We want spades, ploughs, sickles, and axes, but our smith is always making holiday.

And it is just he who makes the best knives.
There are no other smiths here." Our wanderers then went to the smith.

The man was sitting in his room, reading the Holy Scriptures and praying.
