The lion screamed, the leopard roared with another sound, and similarly the rest of the beasts, each beast roaring with a different sound, and the birds whistled and clicked, and so all gave voice with wild sounds. And at the beginning they became very scared; they did not listen correctly to the sound on account of fear.

Therefore the land used to be called 'The Foolish Land with the Wise Government (malkhuth) .' Then the king died; the king's son remained, and the king's son is also a wise man, except against us he is not at all smart.
