The Alchemist

The boy in the Alchemist is confronted by a man that claims to be a king. Then the king offers to help the boy fulfill his destiny, which is to find the treasure in Egypt. At first the boy doesn’t believe him, but then the king tells the boy things about himself that he has never told anyone before. Then the boy offers the king a 10th of his flock of sheep for his help. I am surprised that the boy so willingly jumped at the man’s offer, because even if he told me my secrets I still wouldn’t believe him.
