| But he didn’t need to worry about that right now. What he had | ||
| to be concerned about was his treasure, and how he was going to go | ||
| about getting it. The sale of his sheep had left him with enough | ||
| money in his pouch, and the boy knew that in money there was | ||
| magic; whoever has money is never really alone. Before long, maybe | ||
| in just a few days, he would be at the Pyramids. An old man, with a | ||
| breastplate of gold, wouldn’t have lied just to acquire six sheep. | ||
| The old man had spoken about signs and omens, and, as the boy | ||
| was crossing the strait, he had thought about omens. Yes, the old | ||
| man had known what he was talking about: during the time the boy | ||
| had spent in the fields of Andalusia, he had become used to learning | ||
| which path he should take by observing the ground and the sky. He | ||
| had discovered that the presence of a certain bird meant that a | ||
| snake was nearby, and that a certain shrub was a sign that there | ||
| was water in the area. The sheep had taught him that. | ||
| If God leads the sheep so well, he will also lead a man, he | ||
| thought, and that made him feel better. The tea seemed less bitter. | ||
| “Who are you?” he heard a voice ask him in Spanish. | ||
| The boy was relieved. He was thinking about omens, and | ||
| someone had appeared. | ||
| “How come you speak Spanish?” he asked. The new arrival was a | ||
| young man in Western dress, but the color of his skin suggested he | ||
| was from this city. He was about the same age and height as the boy. | ||
| “Almost everyone here speaks Spanish. We’re only two hours | ||
| from Spain.” | ||
| “Sit down, and let me treat you to something,” said the boy. “And | ||
| ask for a glass of wine for me. I hate this tea.” | ||
| “There is no wine in this country,” the young man said. “The | ||
| religion here forbids it.” | ||
| The boy told him then that he needed to get to the Pyramids. He | ||
| almost began to tell about his treasure, but decided not to do so. If | ||
| he did, it was possible that the Arab would want a part of it as | ||
| payment for taking him there. He remembered what the old man | ||
| had said about offering something you didn’t even have yet. | ||
| “I’d like you to take me there if you can. I can pay you to serve as | ||
| my guide.” | ||
| “Do you have any idea how to get there?” the newcomer asked. | ||
| The boy noticed that the owner of the bar stood nearby, | ||
| listening attentively to their conversation. He felt uneasy at the | ||
| man’s presence. But he had found a guide, and didn’t want to miss | ||
| out on an opportunity. | ||
| “You have to cross the entire Sahara desert,” said the young man. | ||
| “And to do that, you need money. I need to know whether you have | ||
| enough.” | ||
| The boy thought it a strange question. But he trusted in the old | ||
| man, who had said that, when you really want something, the | ||
| universe always conspires in your favor. | ||
| He took his money from his pouch and showed it to the young | ||
| man. The owner of the bar came over and looked, as well. The two | ||
| men exchanged some words in Arabic, and the bar owner seemed | ||
| irritated. | ||
| “Let’s get out of here,” said the new arrival. “He wants us to | ||
| leave.” | ||
