Salt Seller

The Salt Seller
There was a man who had salt for sale
He dug it out of a salt pond beach
His customers were poor and sad
and his price far out of their reach.

So he gave it away until all was gone
and went back to the beach for more
But it started to rain and he lost all his salt
and so did his customers poor.

If he had a hut or at least a shelter
He could save the salt for all
The neighbors saw his vision too
So they started with just a wall.

His friends and customers all stepped up
and each brought a stick, a brick or a stone
The pantry was built and the salt was saved
With God’s help, one is never alone.
