Thus being declined of his ardent request, the old traveling 5 Vy monk heavily directed his tottering feet toward the pointed path. The wind was raging with all his violence and the thick- ening snow was deep on the path. As soon as the stranger had left them, the wife said to her husband in a low but advising tone, with tears, “My master, how cruel you are! It is not that we should suffer this ruined life because we did not plant the right seeds in our foregone days. To serve to every one with all we have, even to this poor traveler, is to serve Shippen Hogii at Kamakura. “T am unable to see and let that old, feeble traveling monk go without paying any due tribute to him!

Suddenly the master rose and brought out, from the shelf, below the window, three potted plants. The one was a plum, budding already under the snow, the other was pine clad in deep evergreen.
