And as one was heaving of a beam, the axe head fell into the water. And he cried out and said, "Alas, master, for it was lent me."

And the man of God said, "Where fell it?" And he showed him the place. And he cut a stick and cast it in thither, and made the axe head swim.

as when a man goeth unto the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and as his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe, the head slippeth from the helve and smiteth his neighbour that he die; the same shall flee unto one of the same cities and be saved.
