One night while he was sleeping, he dreamt for the second times about a child who said to him that if he go to pyramids, he will find a hidden treasure. He went to see a Gypsy lady who explained to him the meaning of his dream with a price - she wanted 1/10 of his treasures.
Unfortunately, her explanation didn't get him far until he meet the King of Salem, Melchizedek who urged him to sell his flock and travel to the said place to find a hidden treasure.
Along the journey, the shepherd faced difficulties which made him almost abandon his dream.
Through out his travel from Andalusia - Tangiers - Desert - Egypt, the boy befriended a lot of people who helped and taught him about the miracle of life. A friend explained to him not to worry much about the future. Feel the thrill of not knowing what the outcome would be. His friend explained that the future was already written by God and what He had written was always for the good of man. Thus man live only for the present because present was full of surprises and man had to be aware of many things in the present too.
The boy also learn how to make adjustment along the way in the dessert without compromising his goal. He remember the king advised,
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
The novel can be considered as part of motivational book too as it explained indirectly about how people with dreams do not give up easily. We can learn a lot from nature flexibilities when facing adversities in our way achieving goals.
