YUG THE PROPHET

 When the Years had carries away Yonath, and Yonath was dead, there was no longer a prophet¹ among men.

 

And still men sought to know.

 

Therefore they said unto Yug: "Be thou our prophet, and know all things, and tell us concerning² the wherefore of It All."

 

And Yug said: "I know all things." And men were pleased.

 

And Yug said of the Beginning that it was in Yug's own garden, and of the End that it was in the sight of Yug.

 

And men forgot Yug.

 

One day Yug saw Mung behind the hills making the sign of Mung. And

Yug was Yug no more.
