On one occasion a certain governor arranged to see Abba Simon, and the clergy told him beforehand, saying, Father, make yourself ready, for a certain governor has heard of your life and works, and he wishes to come and be blessed by you'; and the old man said to them, 'I am ready.' Then the old man went in and took in his hand some bread and cheese, and went out to the door and sat down there, and he changed about from place to place eating; and when the governor came with his company, and saw him sitting and eating, they despised him, saying, ' So this is the monk of whom I have heard!' And they left him and departed.
