The horizon was tinged with red, and suddenly the sun appeared.
The boy thought back to that conversation with his father, and felt
happy; he had already seen many castles and met many women
(but none the equal of the one who awaited him several days
hence). He owned a jacket, a book that he could trade for another,
and a flock of sheep. But, most important, he was able every day to
live out his dream. If he were to tire of the Andalusian fields, he could
sell his sheep and go to sea. By the time he had had enough of the
sea, he would already have known other cities, other women, and
other chances to be happy. I couldn’t have found God in the
seminary, he thought, as he looked at the sunrise.
Whenever he could, he sought out a new road to travel. He had
never been to that ruined church before, in spite of having traveled
through those parts many times. The world was huge and
inexhaustible; he had only to allow his sheep to set the route for a
while, and he would discover other interesting things. The problem is
that they don’t even realize that they’re walking a new road every
day. They don’t see that the fields are new and the seasons change.
All they think about is food and water.
Maybe we’re all that way, the boy mused. Even me—I haven’t
thought of other women since I met the merchant’s daughter.
Looking at the sun, he calculated that he would reach Tarifa before
midday. There, he could exchange his book for a thicker one, fill his
wine bottle, shave, and have a haircut; he had to prepare himself for
his meeting with the girl, and he didn’t want to think about the
possibility that some other shepherd, with a larger flock of sheep,
had arrived there before him and asked for her hand.
It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life
interesting, he thought, as he looked again at the position of the sun,
and hurried his pace. He had suddenly remembered that, in Tarifa,
there was an old woman who interpreted dreams.
