When Pombo heard this he took two handfuls of the arch idolater's beard and kissed them joyfully, and dried his tears and became his old impertinent self again. WHEN POMBO HEARD THIS HE TOOK TWO HANDFULS OF THE ARCH IDOLATER'S BEARD AND KISSED THEM JOYFULLY AND DRIED HIS TEARS AND BECAME HIS OLD IMPERTINENT SELF AGAIN
e him. The arch-idolater who made idols of his own rebuked Pombo in the name of Man for having broken his idols--"for hath not Man made them?" the arch-idolater said; and concerning the idols themselves he spoke long and learnedly, explaining divine etiquette, and how Pombo had offended, and how no idol in the world would listen to Pombo's prayer. When Pombo heard this he wept and made bitter outcry, and cursed the gods of ivory and the gods of jade, and the hand of Man that made them, but most of all he cursed their etiquette that had undone, as he said, an innocent man; so that at last that arch-idolater, who made idols of his own, stopped in his work upon an idol of jasper for a king that was weary of Wosh, and took compassion on Pombo, and told him that though no idol in the world would listen to his prayer, yet only a little way over the edge of it a certain disreputable idol sat who knew nothing of etiquette, and granted prayers that no respectable god would ever consent to hear. ND PUT HIS CASE BEFORE HIM THE ARCH IDOLATOR WHO MADE IDOLS OF HIS OWN REBUKED POMBO IN THE NAME OF MAN FOR HAVING BROKEN HIS IDOLS FOR HATH NOT MAN MADE THEM THE ARCH IDOLATER SAID AND CONCERNING THE IDOLS THEMSELVES HE SPOKE LONG AND LEARNEDLY EXPLAINING DIVINE ETIQUETTE AND HOW POMBO HAD OFFENDED AND HOW NO IDOL IN THE WORLD WOULD LISTEN TO POMBO'S PRAYER WHEN POMBO HEARD THIS HE WEPT AND MADE BITTER OUTCRY AND CURSED THE GODS OF IVORY AND THE GODS OF JADE AND THE HAND OF MAN THAT MADE THEM BUT MOST OF ALL HE CURSED THEIR ETIQUETTE THAT HAD UNDONE AS HE SAID AN INNOCENT MAN SO THAT AT LAST THAT ARCH IDOLATOR WHO MADE IDOLS OF HIS OWN STOPPED IN HIS WORK UPON AN IDOL OF JASPER FOR A KING THAT WAS WEARY OF WUSH AND TOOK COMPASSION ON POMBO AND TOLD HIM THAT THOUGH NO IDOL IN THE WORLD WOULD LISTEN TO HIS PRAYER YET ONLY A LITTLE WAY OVER THE EDGE OF IT A CERTAIN DISREPUTABLE IDOL SAT WHO KNEW NOTHING OF ETIQUETTE AND GRANT HIM PRAYERS THAT NO RESPECTABLE GOD WOULD EVER CONSENT TO HEAR
