Fanatic part 1 of 2

There was a boy who lived in a cave. He did not know the kings who ruled the lands outside. He didn't know any of the folk tales in his village. All the boy did was read. He read books from all over the world, directly from a book importer. The sailor asked the boy to read all the books, and then translate them into the country's language. The boy did it with pleasure, he loved the sailor.

He read books about pirates, thieves, heroes, passionate ladies, and corrupt politicians. But he had never really seen any of them, and he didn't even plan to. The world was so dangerous for him, and although innocent he knew it.

One day, a woman appeared at the cave door. She came to the boy and said:

- Poor kid! Poor thing! What can I do to alleviate the suffering that passes through the old sailor's hands?

The boy looked at the woman confused and asked:

- Madame, do you know the old sailor? He gives me shelter, food, and books. He also teaches me many things.
