[Machine] I have come to you with this money, and I treat it as the guardian of the wealth of the orphan. If anyone is wealthy, let them be abstinent, and if anyone is poor, let them eat in a fair manner. And I do not see a village from which a sheep is taken every day, except that it quickly leads to its destruction.
