The Phantom And the Fisherman
“That night they dug up the treasure and returned it to their master, Payneshi.
The next day Meshwesh was dragged in front of the governor. “I should have you beaten to death, Meshwesh,” he said.
“Yes, governor,” Meshwesh groaned.
“And I should give the beating job to the young scribes.” The whole school was there to see the trial. “Would you like that boys?” Payneshi asked.
“Yes!” the boys roared.
“But really it is for Menes and Ahmose to decide. You are theirs to deal with as they please. If t...hey want you chopped into fifty pieces and thrown to the crocodiles then that is what I will order.”
The fat teacher looked at the boys, his red eyes puffed and pitiful. “It would hurt.”
Menes looked at Ahmose then up at Payneshi the judge. “Spare him,” Menes said quietly. “He’s really taught us a lot – he’s a very good scribe but not a very good man – and he’s been punished. He’s lost his treasure.”
Payneshi blinked. “It’s my treasure.”
“Sorry,”MoreLess
