Read the following summary of The Book of job from the Bible:
God believes that job is a humble and devout man. Satan, however, challenges God, saying that job is virtuous and moral only because God
blessed him with good fortune. Satan makes a bet with God that if Job experiences suffering his devotion will falter and he will curse God. A
series of disasters strike Job's life. All of his children die, his livestock dies, most of his servants are killed, and he is left with nothing. Job is
devastated, but he doesn't blame God for the tragedies. Satan then plans another test for job. He is struck with a horrible skin disease.
Three of Job's friends arrive to comfort him, and Job finally questions the injustice done to him. His friends criticize him for challenging God's
will. They suggest that his misfortune is probably a result of some sin he committed. Job replies that he is innocent and pleads for a fair
hearing from God. God answers Job's challenge by asking him if he can do the things that God can, after which job apologizes. Finally, God
scolds Job's companions and restores Job's life, giving him back his children and twice as much wealth as he had before.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
