"...and verily it was that the peepul, beset by illness, were unable to complete the gathering of the harvest.
The Lord said & #39;Nae borra! Just give me what thee have and I shall recompense thee accordingly"
On hearing this, Atement protested bitterly...1/5

& #39;But Lord? Peter hath cheated by rising earlier and working harder. Thus shall he have the biggest share of the shekels and the attendant satisfaction.& #39;
And the Lord said & #39;What woulds& #39;t thou do, Atement?& #39;
& #39;Lord. I would give each of the peepul an equal share of the shekels...2/5

...that they may all partake equally of the bounty. Not for mine own sake thee understand, for I am rollin& #39; in it, but for the poor, poor wee people. And we shall, mayhaps, deliver thee the harvest at a later date.& #39;
The Lord then put the matter to a vote...3/5

..and it was decided that each should be paid according to his own effort.
And Atement decried & #39;Absolute feckin& #39;, cheatin& #39; bastards! Ahm writin& #39; tae the King so ah am.& #39;
And it came to pass that Atement did write many missives to the King, beseeching that it & #39;Jist wisnae fair& #39; 4/5

Thus it was that Atement was elevated to the position of & #39;Patron Saint of Threatening Letter Writers& #39;
