Tangier

I sat in a bar and looked at the narrow street in Tangier. People spoke Arabic here, so I could not understand at all. A boy who could speak Spanish talked to me and I told him that I would go to the Pyramids. I almost told him the story about my treasure, but I didn't want to give him another one-tenth of the treasure so I chose not to do so. I asked him if he was willing to be my guidance, but he needed me to prove if I had enough money. I thought it was weird but I took all my money to show him. Suddenly the bar owner came to me and spoke to me angrily, but I did not know Arabic. The boy told me the owner wanted my money and we better leave now. I trusted my friend and we left. My friend knew a lot and he asked me the money to buy camels. It made me remind of the King’s sayings,” When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” So I gave him all my money. However, when we crossed a street later on, I saw a sword. I really wanted to buy it so I stopped. But my friend disappeared while I was staring at the sword. My money was gone.

I was so frustrated that I wanted to give up. Should I go back to Spain? I tried to grab one of the stones to help me make the decision, but there was a hole in my pouch so they both fell down. It made me remind the words of the King of Salem, this is an omen. I needed to follow my Personal  Legend, so I decided to go on.

I wandered around the streets and I saw a little crystal shop. I came in and asked the owner to offer me food if I would clean all the dirty glasses. Surprisingly, two people came in this little shop while I was cleaning. The merchant considered it as a good omen so he asked me to stay. I helped him expand the business and I earned enough money for working nearly one year. Now I decide to leave.
