Ishmael, the son of Hagar, had his water in a bottle, and he might have laughed at Isaac because Isaac had no bottle. Here was the difference between them: Isaac lived by the well.

Sometimes, in the old days of war, there used to be a number of little ships wanting to cross the sea. But the privateers were on the watch, so the seamen were afraid to hoist the sail, and get away from the shelter of the shore, for they would soon be caught by their enemies, like doves by the hawk.…
