1. Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
2. "The rich man had a great many flocks and herds.
3. "But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished; And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, And was like a daughter to him.
