THE SOUL.. of the world feeds ( nourishes) on the happiness of its people. Its an excellent book. one of the parts I enjoy the most is when he meet the alchemist because he learn so many things about the soul of the world, and that everything has a soul. When he meets and fall in LOVE with Fatima the love he treasures so much............................................THE ALCHIMIST picked up one book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus. The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus a youth who knelt daily besides a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus. But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.....................He said that when Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears. Why do you weep ? the goddesses asked. I weep for Narcissus, the lake replied. Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus, they said for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand. But............... was Narcissus beautiful ? the lake asked. Who better than you to know that ? the goddesses said in wonder. After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself ! The lake was silent for sometime. finally, it said: I Weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I could see, in the depth of his eyes, my own beauty reflected. What a lovely story. the alchemist thought......................I can identified with this story its what call me so much attention.--------------------------The Alchemist by PAULO COELHO Its a beautiful story that youll love for the rest of your life and your going to learn so much from it.
