Sarah sat at the entrance to the shop. It sat at the one end of the Street of the Weavers. She was working at her loom when a man walked in.
Sarah's mother Rebekah noticed him. " Well, if it isn't our cousin Lamsa". She yelled toward the back. " Boaz, our cousin is here".
Sarah observed him. He was tall, strong, lean and muscled. He had a grizzled beard and weathered skin.
Boaz came out and put a hand on one of his shoulders. " Everyone, no one has wool like Lamsa'a sheep". He smiled. " How is the family?".
" I have three sons". A frown came over him. " I lost Jerusha as she tried to give me a fourth child".
Rebekah pointed to Sarah to stop the loom. She walked over. " Lamsa, this is my daughter Sarah".
She curtsied. " Cousin Lamsa, I am honored to weave your beautiful wool".
They both left the two gentlemen to talk.
" Lamsa, you have traveled a long ways".
He grinned. " Boaz, I remember that you have five beautiful daughters".
" Yes, four of them are married with families of their own".
" What about your daughter Sarah?".
