Arcad, Hast Thou Yet Achieved the Wealth Thou Dreamed Of?

'Arcad, hast thou yet achieved the wealth thou dreamed of?' he asked. 'Not yet all that I desire, but some I have, and it earns more,' he replied. He went to Nippur and took charge of his holdings which were large. After four years did Arcad not prove his purpose by keeping one-tenth of what he earned? One friend said: "'You were indeed fortunate that Algamesh made you an heir.'" "Willpower is but the unflinching purpose to carry a task you set for yourself to fulfillment," another wrote.
