A long time ago, in the village of Eziama lived Hakaam, the Wise One, and many there rushed to him for advice. He gave freely to all, demanding nothing in return. One day, there came to him a young man who had spent much but got little. And he asked; tell me Wise one, what must I do to receive the most for that which I spend?
Hakaam answered; “A thing bought or sold has no value unless it contains that which you cannot buy or sell. Look for the priceless ingredient.”
