When we got to his house, I was very surprised to find that his house was more like the palace of a king. I stood there and gaze at the beauty of his splendor estate. The old man invited me in and told me to follow him so he can offer me hospitality. The old men seated me on a polished chair and urged me to help myself to food, and formally welcome me to his home. He said after I was done eating, he'll ask who I am. So he pour some ambrosia on a table, drew it to my side, and mixed it with a cup of nectar. I began to eat and dri
