When Pombo discovered this he resented his birth bitterly, and made lamentation and alleged that he was lost. WHEN POMBO DISCOVERED THIS HE RESENTED HIS BIRTH BITTERLY AND MADE LAMENTATION AND ALLEGED THAT HE WAS LOST
byss. THE INJUDICIOUS PRAYERS OF POMBO THE IDOLATER Pombo the idolater had prayed to Ammuz a simple prayer, a necessary prayer, such as even an idol of ivory could very easily grant, and Ammuz had not immediately granted it. Pombo had therefore prayed to Tharma for the overthrow of Ammuz, an idol friendly to Tharma, and in doing this offended against the etiquette of the gods. Tharma refused to grant the little prayer. Pombo prayed frantically to all the gods of idolatry, for though it was a simple matter, yet it was very necessary to a man. And gods that were older than Ammuz rejected the prayers of Pombo, and even gods that were younger and therefore of greater repute. He prayed to them one by one, and they all refused to hear him; nor at first did he think at all of that subtle, divine etiquette against which he had offended. It occurred to him all at once as he prayed to his fiftieth idol, a little green-jade god whom the Chinese know, that all the idols were in league against him.
