A Dialogue beetween God and Man

God

I made the whole world with the same water and clay, But you created Iran, Tartary, and Ethiopia.

From the earth I brought forth pure iron, But you made from that iron sword, arrow, and gun.

You made an axe for the tree in the garden, And a cage for the songbird.

Man

You made the night, I made the lamp; You made the earthen bowl, I made the goblet.

You made deserts, mountains and valleys; I made gardens, meadows and parks.

I am one who makes a mirror out of stone, And turns poison into sweet, delicious drink.
