The Man who Sought his Luck
A man down on his luck is advised to find the wise old woman at the end of the world to find his luck. On the way he meets different people with problems, and he offers to ask the wise old woman for help for them. The wise old woman tells him how his luck will come to him, and gives advice for the others. You may laugh, you may cry at what he does on his return journey- but it will give you cause to think!
