And then, there would be a severe drought in her county for the three years. ...
and her wishes were Fulfilled .....

"DOU E:Take pity on one who is dying an unjust death;

Take pity on one whose head will be struck from her body;

Take pity on one who has worked with you in your home;

Take pity on one who has neither mother nor father;

Take pity on one who has served you all these years;

And at festivals offer my spirit a bowl of cold gruel.

MRS. CAI (weeping):
