"How, dear sir, did you cross the flood"
"By not halting friend and by not straining,
I crossed the flood. "
"But how is it, dear sir, that by not halting and by not straining you crossed the flood?"
"When I came to a standstill, friend, then
I sank; but when I struggled,
then I got swept away.
It is in this way, friend, that by not halting
and by not straining, crossed the flood ".
