A merchant
sent his son to learn the Secret of Happiness from the wisest of men. The young
man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful
castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that the young man was
looking for.
However,
instead of finding a holy man, our hero entered a room and saw a great deal of
activity; merchants coming and going, people chatting in the corners, a small
orchestra playing sweet melodies, and there was a table laden with the most
delectable dishes of that part of the world.
