[WHOOPING]

The king will slay us, as he has our brethren because their flocks were scattered. Let us go in search of the flocks, and we will gather them together. We will preserve the flocks unto the king and he will not slay us.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Encircle the flocks, and I will go and contend with these men.

[THUMP] What is this? My king, we have come to tell you of the faithfulness and great power of Ammon, the Nephite. What has he done? At the water of Sebus, men attempted to scatter your flocks, but Ammon stood forth and defended them.

He smote off every arm that was raised against him. Surely, this is more than a man.

Is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great punishments upon this people, because of their murders? Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not; but this much we do know, that he cannot be slain by the enemies of the king.

This is the Great Spirit of whom our fathers have spoken.

I have slain many of these men's brethren. I supposed that whatever I did was right. But I fear that I have done wrong in slaying my servants.

Where is this man that hath such great power? He is feeding thy horses.

Surely there has not been any servant among all my servants that has been so faithful as this man; for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them. Now I surely know that this is the Great Spirit, and I would desire him that he come in unto me. [MUSIC PLAYING]

But I durst not.
