Once there was a man who told his friend he was traveling across the world. “That’s incredible,” the friend said. “I see you’ve taken your guide dog.” “Indeed,” the man said. “I’m traveling a few miles, so he needs to guide me.” “A few miles?” his friend asked. “Is that really across the world?” “Going in the right direction, it would be thousands of kilometers,” the man said. “I’m taking a shortcut.” “Then why do you want to travel across the world?” his friend asked. “I have an ancestor I want to emulate by bringing joy to everyone along my path,” the man said. “On that note, I have a gift for you.”
