The Right Path

David was young immature boy who set on a journey to reach his goal of success. So he went to ask people if they know where to find success. Many people told him success is hidden in a castle up the mountain but nobody ever tried going there as it was filled with dangerous creatures who guard sucess. He then got ready without fear but his parents warned him not talk to any stranger in his journey and only follow the right path.The boy smiled and promised them he will come back safely and also bring success with him. So the boy started walking and entered a forest. It was so hot in there that he felt thirsty and thought to take rest under the shade of tree. He slept for many hours until he smelled the tasty pork. He got up and looked around and saw an old man eating a grilled pork. David was hungry and drooled...the old man saw him and asked "oh boy! what are you doing in this forest!!?"

"I'm here to find success" said david "do you live here old man?" the man was silent for a second then he shaked his head "I'm here to find success too"....."oh that's great let's go together then"...So they walked together talking and laughing and then saw a tree filled with large tasty fruits. It looked so tasty that it attracted the boy and was about to pluck one but the old man told the him it's poisonous so they ignored it and began walking again. Then next on their way they met a beautiful lady. She had fair shining skin, pretty brown hair and pearl eyes. The boy fell for her at first sight. But again the old man told him "that's just an illusion.. she's a witch who eat boys so better focus on the path. So they ignored her and began walking again. After a while they came across a talking mirror.

When they went near it started screaming..."DON'T COME NEAR YOU EVIL CREATURE!!" the boy was confused and asked what's the matter. the mirror told "THE PATH YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING UNTIL NOW AND THE PERSON YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW WITH BOTH ARE TOTALLY WRONG! THINK ONCE AGAIN! THE DECISION IS YOURS!...the boy dazed thinking about mirror's words but then the old man asked the boy "do you think I'm wrong? if so we can part from this way." the boy answered " no. I belive you. you saved me until now from every trouble so now I know this mirror is trickster...he doesn't want us to reach our success. So then they both again ignored it and began walking...And then after walking more than 3hrs they saw a golden bird...but old man told to the same and they ignored it... after they walked for a whole day encountering many creatures they were finally able to see the castle but there were two paths again. One led to castle and the other led to an dried up forest.. and the old man told the same again... the boy now was thinking ..tho this old man helped him too many times but he's a bit suspicious as why would a person want to share success? so why did old man helped him? he hesitated but still followed that old man... and finally at last they they walked into that dried forest..."so where's the success?".... the old man didn't say a word... and ... he turned into a beast and stared laughing out loud..."haha I never met someone this stupid... even though i could have killed you at first but still gave you chance to change your path"..The boy was so shocked but before he could say a word the beast at him in one bite and went to sleep peacefully.
