Like this book? Theysearched everywhere, and found that the oasis was much larger than theycould have imagined; there were hundreds of tents.\"We've wasted almost the entire day,\" said the Englishman, sitting downwith the boy near one of the wells.\"Maybe we'd better ask someone,\" the boy suggested.The Englishman didn't want to tell others about his reasons for being at theoasis, and couldn't make up his mind. Theshop is exactly the size I always wanted it to be. I just want to dream aboutMecca. We're only two hours from Spain.\"\"Sit down, and let me treat you to something,\" said the boy. This is aport, and every port has its thieves.\"The boy trusted his new friend.

The Soul of the World is nourished bypeople's happiness. As they satdown at the only table in the place, the crystal merchant laughed.\"You didn't have to do any cleaning,\" he said. He looked at the people in the plaza for awhile; they were coming and going, and all of them seemed to be verybusy.\"So, what is Salem like?\" he asked, trying to get some sort of clue.\"It's like it always has been.\"No clue yet. The alchemist saw the tribal chiefs greet the leader of thecaravan, and converse with him at length.But none of that mattered to the alchemist.

Why did they use suchstrange language, with so many drawings?\"The Englishman didn't answer him directly.

The boy knew what he was about to describe,though: the mysterious chain that links one thing to another, the same chainthat had caused him to become a shepherd, that had caused his recurringdream, that had brought him to a city near Africa, to find a king, and to berobbed in order to meet a crystal merchant, andThe closer one gets to realizing his destiny, the more that destiny becomeshis true reason for being, thought the boy.The caravan moved toward the east.
