"And what else is there?" asked Pliable.
"We will be given crowns of glory, and garments which shine like the

"This is wonderful!" exclaimed Pliable. "And what else will there be?"
"There will be no more crying, nor sorrow — for He who reigns over
that place, will wipe all tears from our eyes!" responded Christian.
