The Life of Suran

1Now after Suran had expounded these things unto his family; Suran's second son, Shurak, did speak unto his father saying, surely this thing means nothing. Could it not be that Ngameke was a delusional man. And could it not be that he manufactured these things. For no man can know the future. And no man can know who will come to a place and who will leave from a place. Wherefore he hath done these things so as to lead your heart away from the gods of our tribes. For if your heart will be lead away from the gods of our tribe then surely their wrath will be poured out upon us. And we will suffer famine and hunger. I say unto thee father, forget the ramblings this strange man hath spoken unto you. And trouble yourself not. But now Suran's eldest son, Ahkman, did ponder upon the meaning of the things which his father had spoken. And he did take himself out of the home of his father and did ponder up the meaning of the things which his father had spoken. And after praying mightily he did return to the home of his father. And Ahkman spake unto his younger brother saying, Behold, my brother, I have prayed to know the truth of these things and an angel of the Lord appeared unto me and he did witness unto me the truth of the things which our father hath spoken. Wherefore if you will not believe the words of our father, believe my words. And it came to pass that Shurak did speak to his brother saying, Surely these things must be true. For if this God has power to do these things then he is the most powerful of all the gods. And I will hearken unto his voice and command. Now behold all the rest of the household of Suran, even his wife Tinal, and his youngest son Kodal and his daughter Gura, did believe on his words. Wherefore Suran in his heart was amazed for his family, yet in his heart he still remained unsure of the thing which he had been called to do, or of the manifestations which had been witnessed. Nevertheless they did gather together to worship God and obey His commandments.
