“—Yoram! He is coming !
Yoram turned around and saw Rabi, his friend, gesticulating in the distance. From the top of the hill, in the shade of one of the few trees growing on this arid land, Yoram saw one of the four ships leaving Elath and heading towards the port. The proud and immense vessel deigned to honor the inhabitants of Etsyôn-Géber with its presence. The young man ran down the
steep hill and ran towards the quay, where the entire village had already gathered to welcome the visitors.
—Is this one of the king's ships? Yoram asked, moving closer to the crowd.
“Look at it yourself and tell me what you think,” he replied.
Rabi turning towards this sumptuous invader. Yoram thought that a ship built with materials of this quality, decorated with golden ornaments and precious metals, could only be a ship of the king. He sighed, expressing entire nights of imaginary escapades. This breath found its immediate echo: his friend
also shared these dreams and these fabulous journeys often occupied their conversations in the moonlight.“One day I will leave everything,” Yoram said continually.”
