The magic garden for the poor

Part 1

Once upon a time there was a shepherd. He was not rich, but he lived happily in his village until one day all his sheep became ill and died. He had no money and no land, so he decided to go to the city and find a job there.

'I've lived here since I was born, but I have to leave now,' he told his neighbour, who was a farmer.

'We've been friends for twenty years. Stay here and I'll help you,' the farmer said. He gave the shepherd half of his land. The two friends worked on the land together and the shepherd didn't have to leave the village. One day, he found a pot of gold coins buried in the ground.

"This was my friend's land,' he thought. 'I'll give the gold to him.' But the farmer didn't want to take it. 'The land has been yours for two years. The gold belongs to you,' he told the shepherd. They couldn't decide what to do, so the next day they went to ask a wise man who lived in the same village. The wise man was teaching a group of students when they arrived. He listened carefully when the shepherd told him the story.

'We've argued about this gold since we found it,' said the shepherd. 'Please help us.' Then one of the students suggested that they should use the money to create a garden with a lot of trees and flowers where poor people can go to eat fruit, drink clean water and rest. Everybody liked the idea. They gave the gold to the student and asked him to go to the city and buy the most wonderful seeds for the garden.

The journey to the city was long and tiring. 'I've travelled for three days,' the student thought. 'The city must be very close.' An hour later, he saw the city gates. He walked through the gates and found his way to the market in the city centre. There were a lot of merchants selling food, carpets, clothes and animals. Suddenly, he saw a man with some camels. There were birds tied to the camels: eagles, pelicans, ducks, pigeons, gulls, swallows, larks ... and many others whose names he didn't know.
