Zohar
A person whose house was in the mountains
who did not know town dwellers,
Sowed wheat,
And ate the wheat
As it was.
–
One day he came to town.
He was served fine bread.
The man said:
What is this for?"
He was told:
"This is bread to eat."
–
He ate,
And it was most pleasing to his palate.
He said: "And what is this made of?"
"They told him:
"Of wheat".
–
Then he was served
Cakes made with oil.
He tasted them,
And said: "And these, what are they made of?”
"They told him:
"Of wheat.
–
Thus he was served foods fit for kings,
kneaded in oil and honey.
He said: "And these, what are they made of?”
"They told him:
"Of wheat”.
–
:He said
"Certainly I possess
all these
Since I eat
The main part of all these
"Which is wheat.
–
And because of this view
He did not learn how to make
All these delicacies
And did not know of the world's pleasures
And they were lost to him.
