20. A young lad, going on a journey, encountered a
storm at sea. All the other passengers who were very rich
took out their idols and prayed without any result. He who
was poor went down to sleep. They called upon him; he
prayed and the sea became calm. When they landed, each
one went to buy food. He, however, said he was too poor.
They replied, “Your God is with you everywhere and you
cannot be poor.” He said, “Your god hangs on your neck
and is distant, and my God, though distant is near." And
they all prayed to God.
