The first light was kindled, and
the man told his wife and his
children the story of the Mac-

of fresh oil.
The second night the second

children repeated to their parents
what their father had told them.
And husband and wife listened to
their children tell the story and
rejoiced. Light after light rose
up, and every night the man

The man had thought that with
