The closer he got to the realization of his dream, the more difficult things became. Meanwhile, the boy thought about his treasure. “It helped me to trust in people,” the Englishman answered. To the boy’s surprise, the Englishman took a chrome-plated revolver out of his bag and gave it to the men who were collecting the arms. “The oases may not shelter armies or troops.” “Those are the rules of war,” the leader explained.

They were surrounded by children, curious to look at the animals and people that were arriving.
“It looks like A Thousand and One Nights,” said the Englishman, impatient to meet with the alchemist. There were three hundred wells, fifty thousand date trees, and innumerable colored tents spread among them.
