Abstract

The poor man had a wife. These two creatures were the poorest in the town. They under gone great task with struggle before they could cover their private worlds. They built their little hut with palm leaves and other leaves from the plants. Since God created man and woman, and the golden seed plus the golden garden, the poor man started to plant his golden seed. Due to the fertility of the soil, the woman was conceived and gave birth to a female child without helper, just like goat that delievers without approaching midwife. Because of the poverty that made them to stand on the boundary of living and nonliving, people looked them to be like the dirts on the ground.
