Chapter 5
kAnd it so happened that lHarry journeyed to a place called mAltarey, which means high mountain, and appeared to the multitudes, to whom he spoke, surrounded by nAngels.
2oListen to me, he said, I am called Harry, and my way should be your way.
3And some of them mocked him, saying, “Who are you to speak to us in this way? Your suit is in three pieces, your face is clean shaven, and your words sound to us like the grunting of a pig.”
4When they had said these and other things, the children moved closer to Harry as if they would beat him, but the Angels protected him, knocking many children cold, so that they were amazed at his wisdom and sat down to listen.
5Then Harry said, I would say this to you, that you have heavy thoughts but see nothing, that you rap much but say little. What profit a man if he gain the earth and not know it?
6And one among the multitudes cried out to Harry, asking this question: “Your words are strange to us, and we do not understand what you speak of. Tell us, what is your problem?”
7Harry answered him, saying, It is not I who have the problem. It is all of you who have a problem, who live in aparadise, if you would but open your eyes, but prefer to walk about seeking paradise with your eyes closed. I ask you, is this the right way to go about it?
8And bone of the biggest children, who had a beard and a pair of large fists, spoke scornfully to Harry, saying, “You must surely be an anus on fire if you believe that this land of pigs is paradise. Are not our leaders evil warlords, who commit genocide every day of the week?
9“Have they not arranged to murder the few good men who would rise to replace them, including cBobby and dMartin, and probably others too?
10e“Have they not beaten us, and imprisoned us, and given us a very hard time for loving goodness, including peace and love and brotherhood, and all of that stuff!
11“Truly, if your skull were not wedged inside your colon, you would recognize these things. There is no paradise in this land of fcapitalist, gimperialist, hracist pigs. And that is all there is to it.
12“Now, I warn you to depart from this place, you who ifornicate with your mother, before we grow angry and rearrange your physiognomy.”
