Fatima went back to her tent, and, when daylight came,
she went out to do the chores she had done for years.
But everything had changed.
The boy was no longer at the oasis,
and the oasis would never again have the same meaning it had had only yesterday.
It would no longer be a place with fifty thousand palm trees
and three hundred wells,
where the pilgrims arrived, relieved at the end of their long journeys
From that day on, the oasis would be an empty place for her.
From that day on, it was the desert that would be important.
She would look to it every day, and would try to guess which star
the boy was following in search of his treasure.im done with The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
it was pretty good.
goodnight.
