A young boy named Makato was an orphan, and didn't have


any way to support himself, so he worked hard doing
whatever jobs that he could to survive. He was a very hard
worker, and people noticed that. He would dream of going on
an adventure to a bigger place where the land was fertile and
the people were kind, and he was encouraged to do that. One
day, when he had prepared enough, he set out. It took him a
month to get to the bigger town, and when he arrived he
asked a woman for water. He told her that he had come such
a long way because he wanted to see the king, who he had
heard was kind. She worked with the king's elephants and he
started working for her. After some time working, he did
encounter the king, and during the encounter he picked up a
cowrie shell that was lying on the road and offered it to the
king (Cowrie shells were used for money, but just one was
practically worthless). When Makato offered the shell to the
King, the King said he could keep it, and so Makato pondered
what he could do to honor the king's gift. He saw some lettuce
seeds at a stall in the market and thought that he could grow
them. He asked the woman about them, and she let him have
as many as would stick to his finger in return for his treasured
cowrie shell. He grew the lettuces, and next time he saw the
king, he gave one to him, telling him he grew them from the
shell the king had given him. The king was impressed, gave
him a job in the castle, and he eventually grew up and married
the daughter of the king.

Blowin` In The Wind


Song by Bob Dylan

Lyrics
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind


The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist


Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind


The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
