A GOLDEN HORSESHOE (based on an Armenian folk tale)
Good man...
I'm a poor old man...
who hasn't eaten in three days...
Please give me a piece of bread.
A piece of bread?
One piece?
Yes, only one.
And what if you'll want another one, after?
I'll be satisfied with what I have.
Let it be so, come!
Take it!
It is forever yours.
Thank you... thank you...
But... I don't want to remain in your debt...
What would you like... to have?
And what you can give me besides my piece of bread?
I can fulfil any wish of yours.
I have... I have a wish.
Say it!
I want gold, one big sack of gold.
Gold? ... OK!
Wait... I changed my mind...
Not in a sack does true happiness lie.
Then... what you want?
Gold... but ten big sacks.
No, no!
Let whatever I touch turn into gold.
As you wish, the will is yours.
Gold... now this is happiness!
And all this for one piece of bread.
Phew!
What have I done?!
