The moon was the one who ordered the hare to go to tell
the people that a man who is ill will rise up, like
himself. For he who is the moon, when he dies, he comes
again, living.
The hare went, but he turned the story round. He said
that a man who dies will not arise; he decreed that
a man who dies shall die completely and be finished.
That is why people do not rise up. People who die do
not rise up. Dying, they are finished. Therefore people
who die do not come back living; they die and are completely
finished.
They do not arise, for they are truly finished. This
is the argument about which the moon hit the other one's
mouth. Therefore we who are ill are finished; we do
not arise again. We who are ill, we are finished. Our
thoughts, ascending, leave us. Our bodies, our bodies
are those which lie in the earth. That is why our thoughts
leave us.
