Story of narcissus
The author knew the legend of narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so facinated by himself that morning he fell into the lake and droned. At the spot were he fell, a flower was born which was called the narciussus
but this was not how the authour ended the story.
he said that when narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake of salty teares
"why did you weep ?" the goddesses asked.
"i was for narcissus" the lake replied.
"ah! it is no surprise that you weep for narcissus," they said "for though he always pursued him in the forest you alone could contemplate his beauty close by hand".
"but ........ was narcissus beatiful?" the lake asked.
"who better then you to know that ?' The goddesses said in wonder. "after all,it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself".
the lake was silent for some time finally, it said "i weep for narcissus. But i never noticed that narcissus was beautiful. i weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks. i could see, in the depths of his eyes, my ownbeauty reflected"'
wow ! how wonderful the author described the story ....
This story is taken from the book "alchemist" which is written by paulo coelho . this book is ideal when compared to another . you will start thinking about urself ... try it for the freshness.....
