The worshippers had just gone from his temple when Chu bu settled his will to attain this miracle. THE WORSHIPPERS HAD JUST GONE FROM HIS TEMPLE WHEN SHABBAS SETTLED HIS WILL TO ATTAIN THIS MIRACLE
bu remembered and Sheemish did not forget. They spake as we do not speak, in silence yet heard of each other, nor were their thoughts as our thoughts. We should not judge them merely by human standards. All night long they spake and all night said these words only: "Dirty Chu-bu," "Dirty Sheemish." "Dirty Chu-bu," "Dirty Sheemish," all night long. Their wrath had not tired at dawn, and neither had wearied of his accusation. And gradually Chu-bu came to realize that he was nothing more than the equal of Sheemish. All gods are jealous, but this equality with the upstart Sheemish, a thing of painted wood a hundred years newer than Chu-bu, and this worship given to Sheemish in Chu-bu's own temple, were particularly bitter. Chu-bu was jealous even for a god; and when Tuesday came again, the third day of Sheemish's worship, Chu-bu could bear it no longer. He felt that his anger must be revealed at all costs, and he returned with all the vehemence of his will to achieving a little earthquake. BUT THE WRATH OF THE GODS IS ENDURING CHEBAH REMEMBERED AND SHE DID NOT FORGET THEY SPAKE AS WE DO NOT SPEAK IN SILENCE YET HEARD OF EACH OTHER NOR WERE THEIR THOUGHTS AS OUR THOUGHTS WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE THEM MERELY BY HUMAN STANDARDS ALL NIGHT LONG THEY SPAKE AND ALL NIGHT SAID THESE WORDS ONLY DIRTY CHIBAH DIRTY SHEMISH DIRTY CHEBAH DIRTY SHEMISH ALL NIGHT LONG THEIR WRATH HAD NOT TIRED AT DAWN AND NEITHER HAD WEARIED OF HIS ACCUSATION AND GRADUALLY CHIBAH CAME TO REALIZE THAT HE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THE EQUAL OF SHEMISH ALL GODS ARE JEALOUS BUT THIS EQUALITY WITH THE UPSTARTS SHEMISH A THING OF PAINTED WOOD A HUNDRED YEARS NEWER THAN CHEBAH AND THIS WORSHIP GIVEN TO SHEMISH AND CHEBAH'S OWN TEMPLE WERE PARTICULARLY BITTER CHEBAH WAS JEALOUS EVEN FOR A GOD AND WHEN TUESDAY CAME AGAIN THE THIRD DAY OF SHEMISH'S WORSHIP CHIBAH COULD BEAR IT NO LONGER HE FELT THAT HIS ANGER MUST BE REVEALED AT ALL COSTS AND HE RETURNED WITH ALL THE VEHEMENCE OF HIS WILL TO ACHIEVING A LITTLE EARTHQUAKE
