Honi sat down to have a meal and he became sleepy. As he slept, a rock formation hid him. He slept for seventy years. When he awoke, he saw a man collecting beautiful fruit from the same carob tree. "Are you the man who planted the tree?" asked Honi. "I am his grandson" replied the man. Honi realized that he had slept for seventy years!
