TWO MEN, deadly enemies to each other, were sailing in the same
vessel¹.  Determined² to keep as far apart as possible, the one
seated himself in the stem, and the other in the prow³ of the
ship.  A violent storm arose, and with the vessel in great danger
of sinking, the one in the stern inquired of the pilot which of
the two ends of the ship would go down first.  On his replying
that he supposed it would be the prow, the Man said, "Death would
not be grievous to me, if I could only see my Enemy die before
me."
