Q6 Why did the rich woman refuse to help the woman in rags? Q7 How did Isis help remove the poison from the son of the rich woman? rag sneak sting cannot bear to ~ recite spell advance penetrate hasten cheek Isis hid her goddess’ body in rags and traveled to the marshes. The journey was very long, and she became exhausted. She stopped at a rich woman’s house and asked for food and a place to rest. The rich woman saw the seven scorpions and became so scared that she slammed the door in poor Isis’ face. Isis didn’t give up, and went to the house of a poor woman who welcomed the goddess inside. Isis was relieved to get food and shelter from this woman who was generous even though she didn’t have much money. Isis quickly fell asleep with Horus, but the scorpions were still angry at the rich woman. Six of the scorpions—Befen, Mestet, Mestetef, Petet, Thetet, and Matet — raised their tails and gave their poison to their leader, a scorpion called Tefen. Tefen accepted all their poison, snuck into the rich woman’s house, and stung the rich woman’s son. The next morning, the rich woman found that her son was very sick. She carried his body around the town calling out and asking for help. When Isis saw the rich woman, she immediately knew what had happened. Isis could not bear to see an innocent child suffering for his mother’s cruelty, so she took the boy from the rich woman and recited a magical spell, calling the names of the seven scorpions. Isis  : O poison of Tefen, come out of him and fa ll upon the ground! Poison of Befen, advance not, penetrate no farther, and come out of him! For I am Isis, the Great Enchantress, the Speaker of Spe ll s. Fa ll down, O poison of Mestet! Hasten not, poison of Mestetef! Rise not, poison of Petet and Thetet! Approach not, poison of Matet! Little by little, the color returned to the boy’s cheeks, and, after a while, he opened his eyes. The rich woman was overjoyed. To show her thanks to the goddess, the rich woman ran home, gathered half of her money and gave it to the poor woman who had helped Isis the night before. 5 10 15 20 25 71
