Crossword-Solution: SAKIAN 6 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 10

The Syrian race was won by their chieftain, the Armenian by Tigranes, the Hyrcanian by the general's son, and the Sakian by a private soldier who left all his rivals half the course behind him.

And so the Sakian had to tell him all about the matter, adding, "And after all, you see, I did not miss a gallant fellow." [32] "Ah," said Pheraulas, "if you had been wise, you would have chosen a richer one; but I take your gift with all my thanks.

And here is a proof for you: no rich man lies awake from pure joy at his wealth, but did you ever know a man who could close his eyes when he was losing?" [43] "No," said the Sakian, "nor yet one who could drop asleep when he was winning." [44] "True enough," answered the other, "and if having were as sweet as getting, the rich would be a thousand times more happy than the poor.

And the Sakian thought he had found happiness because he was the master of much wealth, and the other felt he was in bliss because he had got a steward who would leave him leisure to do what he liked best.

The Sakian loved Pheraulas because he was for ever adding something to the store, and Pheraulas loved the Sakian because he was willing to assume the entire burden, and however much the cares increased he never broke into the other's leisure.
