"...and verily it was that the peepul, beset by illness, were unable to complete the gathering of the harvest.
The Lord said 'Nae borra! Just give me what thee have and I shall recompense thee accordingly"
On hearing this, Atement protested bitterly...1/5
'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.'
And the Lord said 'What woulds't thou do, Atement?'
'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' in it, but for the poor, poor wee people. And we shall, mayhaps, deliver thee the harvest at a later date.'
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 'Absolute feckin', cheatin' bastards! Ahm writin' tae the King so ah am.'
And it came to pass that Atement did write many missives to the King, beseeching that it 'Jist wisnae fair' 4/5
Thus it was that Atement was elevated to the position of 'Patron Saint of Threatening Letter Writers'
