| He put a sign on the door, and they went to a small café nearby. | ||
| As they sat down at the only table in the place, the crystal merchant | ||
| laughed. | ||
| “You didn’t have to do any cleaning,” he said. “The Koran | ||
| requires me to feed a hungry person.” | ||
| “Well then, why did you let me do it?” the boy asked. | ||
| “Because the crystal was dirty. And both you and I needed to | ||
| cleanse our minds of negative thoughts.” | ||
| When they had eaten, the merchant turned to the boy and said, | ||
| “I’d like you to work in my shop. Two customers came in today | ||
| while you were working, and that’s a good omen.” | ||
| People talk a lot about omens, thought the shepherd. But they | ||
| really don’t know what they’re saying. Just as I hadn’t realized that | ||
| for so many years I had been speaking a language without words to | ||
| my sheep. | ||
| “Do you want to go to work for me?” the merchant asked. | ||
| “I can work for the rest of today,” the boy answered. “I’ll work all | ||
| night, until dawn, and I’ll clean every piece of crystal in your shop. | ||
| In return, I need money to get to Egypt tomorrow.” | ||
| The merchant laughed. “Even if you cleaned my crystal for an | ||
| entire year…even if you earned a good commission selling every | ||
| piece, you would still have to borrow money to get to Egypt. There | ||
| are thousands of kilometers of desert between here and there.” | ||
| There was a moment of silence so profound that it seemed the | ||
| city was asleep. No sound from the bazaars, no arguments among | ||
| the merchants, no men climbing to the towers to chant. No hope, no | ||
| adventure, no old kings or Personal Legends, no treasure, and no | ||
| Pyramids. It was as if the world had fallen silent because the boy’s | ||
| soul had. He sat there, staring blankly through the door of the café, | ||
| wishing that he had died, and that everything would end forever at | ||
| that moment. | ||
