My wife, my nieces uiul my aunts have all for which the spirit pants, they've all they have desired: they're amply fed secure and warm and giving seems a hollow form where giftft are not required.

My aunts are fat, my nieces nino hnvo everything that's good and fine, their lives are full of fun; my friends are well-fixed men, indeed, and they can buy whate'er they need, and never miss the mon.
