noon
Thou ` lt be rewarded for taking my shekel , Jesus answered . A fine lamb for a month , the villager remarked . One that will soon begin to weigh heavy in my bosom , Jesus answered ; a true prophecy , for after a few miles Jesus was glad to let him run by his side ; and knowing now no other mother but Jesus , he trotted after him as he might after the ewe : divining perhaps , Jesus said to himself , the leathern bottle at my girdle . But very soon Jesus had to carry him again , and , despite his weight , they were at noon by the well at the end of the oak wood . Lamb , we 'll sleep awhile together in a pleasant hollow at the edge of the wood . Lay thyself down and doze . The lamb was obedient , but before long he awoke Jesus with his bleating .
