When his heart spoke to him, it was to provide a stimulus to the boy, and to give him strength,
because the days of silence there in the desert were wearisome.
His heart told the boy what his strongest qualities were: his courage in having given up his sheep and in trying to live out his Personal Legend,
and his enthusiasm during the time he had worked at the crystal shop.
And his heart told him something else that the boy had never noticed:
it told the boy of dangers that had threatened him, but that he had never perceived.
His heart said that one time it had hidden the rifle the boy had taken from his father, because of the possibility that the boy might wound himself.
And it reminded the boy of the day when he had been ill and vomiting out in the fields, after which he had fallen into a deep sleep.
There had been two thieves farther ahead who were planning to steal the boy’s sheep and murder him.
But, since the boy hadn’t passed by, they had decided to move on, thinking that he had changed his route.
Does a man’s heart always help him?the boy asked the alchemist.
Mostly just the hearts of those who are trying to realize their Personal Legends. But they do help children, drunkards, and the elderly, too.”
