The stranger and the sun!

by Salim Nazzal

On the way he found an old man with a white beard making fire to warm himself.

The old man with a white beard:

Come, stranger, and warm your hands!
Thank you old man. It is cold in these mountains, but I feel warm
The old man: you feel the warmth! How in this bitter cold?
Stranger: (smiling) in fact I do!
The old man: Is this possible in this cold weather? Tell me stranger there must be a secret behind it
Stranger:
You must believe me if I tell you?
(The old man thinks for a moment) talk and let me see?
Stranger: No! I won t tell unless you promise to believe me!
The old man: (more curious to hear the story) alright, I believe you!
Stranger: you promise!
The old man (without hesitation) I promise!
Stranger
: I carry a sun with me!
The old man: (stunned) sun! A Sun with you?

The old man:
But why do you carry a sun?
Stranger: because I promised a woman to bring her a sun!
The old man:

There is grand sun lighting up the whole universe. Why do you have to make all this effort to bring a sun to her?
Stranger:

The gigantic sun is for all human beings. But I brought her a sun for her alone. Every morning she can illuminate it and extinguish it in the evening and look at the sunset view!
Where is this woman?

She is far away in those distant mountains. She sits in a cottage and waits for me.

She rises every morning and bath in the river, and perfumes her body with thyme trees. And each day she takes a stone from the river to count the time of my arrival.

How long you have been walking stranger?
Stranger: three thousand years
When you will reach?

!I do not know, Iam on the way
