Because I do not need them.” The man said, "Why
do you reject it? Though earlier you ask, what is
still lacking? Let me add to you."

The Angel replied, "No need, the good man. I am
the Angel who was sending to test you, are you
grateful or not. Last time I came to you and gave
you a cure for blindness and also to the your
friends else. But unfortunately, I have to restore
