recalling her calf to memory, was running hither and thither, lowing;

devoured, collected its bones and resuscitated the calf.

spurred by a malignant spirit incited a most savage dog to do him a
hurt. But Queranus, trusting in his Lord, fortified himself with the

them that trust in Thee, O Lord": and soon that dog died.

came to the poor man.
