Angel Watching A Master Mason used to take a nap every afternoon, so his apprentices asked him why he did it. He said, “I go to the dream world to watch the angels ascending and descending just as Jacob did.” It was extremely hot one day so a number of the apprentices decided to take a nap. The master scolded them, but they explained, “We went to the dream world to watch the angels just like Jacob.” “Oh really? How many did you see?" the master demanded. One of the apprentices replied: “Only one, and when I asked him if our master came there every afternoon, he said he had never seen the man.” |
