The Alchemist: Follow Your Dream

Hello there. Do you have a big dream? Today, I want to share a story from The Alchemist. It's a famous book by Paulo Coelho. A young shepherd called Santiago lived in Spain. One night, he slept under a tree near an old church. And he had a strange dream. Treasure, near the pyramids! So he sold his sheep and started his journey. But in a busy city, a man stole all his money. Santiago cried. He wanted to go home. Instead, he found a job in a small glass shop. He worked hard for almost a year and saved his money. Then he crossed the desert with a long line of camels. It was hot, long and dangerous. There, he met a wise old man. The alchemist! The old man told him, 'Listen to your heart.' At last, Santiago saw the pyramids! He dug and dug... but there was no treasure. Then a robber laughed at him. 'I had a dream too!' he said. 'There's treasure under a tree, by an old church in Spain!' Santiago smiled. He knew that tree! He went home, and the treasure was there all the time. So, was his long journey a waste of time? No! On the way, he learned so much about himself. The book says that when you really want something, the whole world helps you. So, what's your treasure? Go and find it!
