Nomosir, Ceased His Tale and Looked Critically at His Listeners.

Nomosir, ceased speaking, and motioned to a slave in the back of the room. The slave brought forward one at a time three heavy leather bags. One of these, Nomosir took and placed upon the floor before his father addressing him again. This I do to prove to thee my father of how much greater value I consider thy wisdom than thy gold. Without wisdom gold is quickly lost by those who have it, but with wisdom gold can be secured by those who don't.
