Time is all-powerful.
It turns cliffs into sand,
and history into legend,
so that it becomes impossible to separate fiction from truth.
TRANSFORMATION based on the story by Jeno Heltai
In this desert,
at the meeting of caravan routes,
once bloomed a white-stoned capital city.
Long ago this was,
oh, how long!
Exact dates have been lost amidst the ages.
People then still believed that the Earth was flat.
Let us forgive them this folly.
A famous city it was.
How could it not be -
it was home to a great wise man.
The wisest of the wise!
There were no secrets for him,
neither up in the sky, nor down on earth!
The world was cramped for wisdom such as his.
He understood the tongue of birds,
knew the powers of plants...
That the Earth was round the wise man did not yet guess.
Once, he was visited by
a troublesome guest -
a flea!
It raged, and hungered,
and began to bite the enlightened body of the elder!
All his wisdom could not help him!
Hurrah!
Aaaah!
Aah!
Ah! Aaah!
Heh-heh-heh-heh...
Oh-oh-oh!
Hee-hee-hee-hee...
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Just in time, the elder recalled
an ancient truth -
If a mistake is made by a wise man,
the whole world stumbles behind him.
Yep...
Good advice is half of happiness.
