A little while after that.
A little while before.

He is going to and fro. Do not go up and down, A story that I heard long ago.

From a wise man that came from afar. That hills are green far from us. That bread is very good, He was struck by another

man.

Is it so?

Did he pay the debts?
I am in earnest.
Why should I not strike
him?

Do not go over any more.
Begin instantly.
He never gave much heed
to her.

Almost all young people are fond of play.

You are very lazy. Why did you meddle with it?

Did he send for his chest?

That great house beyond is mine.

How are you?
He came in immediately.

It is near the night.
It was mine, before I sold
it.

When he heard the story. Shut thyself in thy house.
