As they went further they saw a boat sinking. Moses said: "Master, that boat is sinking, it is going down!" The Master again ordered him to be quiet; so then Moses was quiet, but he was still more uncomfortable. When they arrived home he said: "Master, I thought that you would have saved that little innocent child from drowning, and that you would have saved the boat which was going down in the water - but you did nothing. I cannot understand, but I should like to have an explanation." The Master said: "What you saw, I also saw. We both saw. So there was no use in your telling me, because I saw. You did not need to tell me what was happening, for I knew. If I had thought that it was better to interfere, I could have done it. Why did you take the trouble to tell me, and spoil your vow of silence?'
