But water will keep you alive in the desert. A diamond, not so much!
People have drowned in the desert.
At least the father can rest assured that his daughter is safe with a smart man.
Maybe the daughter had planned everything. We’ll never know…
What a foolish king,
what a tricky adventurer
and what a happy dusky daughter!
That adventurer must be amazingly talented since he made a ring that left breathless such a persona!
He was definitely not Indiana Jones. 😉
Ice!ice! Baby
Damn.
Sounds like a good trader to me 🙂
That dude could sell ice to…well, nevermind
Great story in such few words!
