Atago and the Presonus Mens

He often told the story of him raising tulips for wine. He bragged about his collection of stored wines which were labeled"Nectar to the Gods" He came into Samothrace to find friends: people to support his affords: as he wished to build a Cob home before the snows of fall chilled the earth. He offered lodging and meals for those who would help him in his effects. One fella thought him deviant and wish nothing to do with him. He took another to the side and spoke him vail that they might question his objectives. Without them knowing one anothers names they merely talked without making a commitment. Later in the bar Mosstousse' the doubtful local guy, said of the deal to labor and chore to create a refuge for a stranger for meal and lodge might sound entriguing to a fool but he who is wise might talk of monatary gains before a commitment is made. Evil trust no one and trusting in evil is foolish before Godly men: thus must we speak vail of all strangers or just this one?"yYet Such is merley chore when a team of men task in completion" said the red head fella. And hours and days instead of weeks and months might make such an endeavor profitable. We shall team as a company to completion might he gift us with a sheep and sevral chickens we can sell them at market. Then in agreement they said twelve of us can task to completion in weeks and months instead of years. Suddenly the door opened and the fella walked in. The men smiled and told him For two sheep and many chickens they will chore if he would supply them with 10 coins of gold. The man smiled and agreed. Days later they made list and abd drew plans they assigned chores and began seeking supplys. They sourced there needs and measured and remeasured befoore they cut and attached. One day after stones and straw and wood had been sourced, measured cut and layed into place they began building. The four outer walls went up in one day. The roof the next day, and then they began cobbing walls andd making rooms. Days not months. when they completed: the sat at the fella's held there hands open for there gold coins. Twelve men and Ten gold coins. He handed the men the coins and his son bought the two goats and twelve chickens to them. This was lesser than what had been asked: Since durning labors some of the fella wanted wine and his tulip wines were exspensive and great. they had tasted the wines and found that they were the "Nectars of Gods" like the stories the gentlemen had told them.
