Another excerpt from Paulo Coelho’s ‘Like A Flowing River’
======================================
‘The reason the king is so powerful is because he’s made a pact with the Devil,’
A very devout woman in the street told the boy, and he was intrigued.
Some time later, when he was travelling to another town, the boy heard a man beside him remark:
‘All this land belongs to the same man. I’d say the Devil had a hand in that.’
Late one summer afternoon, a beautiful woman walked past the boy.
‘That woman is in the service of Satan!’
Cried a preacher angrily.
From then on, the boy decided to seek the Devil out, and when he found him, he said:
‘They say you can make people powerful, rich, and beautiful.’
‘Not really,’ replied the Devil.
‘You’ve just been listening to the views of those who are trying to promote me.’
