Two young and one old man argued with each other. The young people said:
“Rather than toil and dig locusts and pick wild garlic, we’d rather eat rhubarb.” And you, if you want, dig locusts and pick wild garlic.
When autumn came, the young people saw that the old man, who ate wild garlic and wild garlic, had become as fat as a wineskin, so that a skinny deer could not lift him.
Two young sloths who ate rhubarb became very thin and emaciated.
