 Long time ago, when Zeus had created man and woman, he called and ordered Hermes,

“Take them to the Earth and show them how to cultivate the land to obtain food.”

ヘルメスと大地の神

 As he was ordered, he took the man and woman to the Earth.

ヘルメスと大地の神

 At first, the Earth refused to be cultivated.

“This is the order from Zeus.”

 When Hermes insisted, the Earth replied,

ヘルメスと大地の神

“All right. Then let them dig as much as they like,

 but they will pay for it with pains and tears”



 This story is applicable for people who take out loans without thinking but who then find it very hard to pay them back.
