Go on home...

This is an untrue story of a real life situation that happens to everyone but for sure has not happened to you before,... It is a story that explains in quite a simple way, a journey we all make and frankly, we all know  someone who has made this journey.

'Three people were going to a Palace at the end of a road. It was a popular road  in their  land,  every one had to attempt to visit this mystical Palace, I say attempt because not every one could enter the Palace. It seemed like a simple task to approach the gates, be denied entry and then go back but no one came back to tell the story, even those who escaped were never believed.
These  men were not close at all, they just happened to meet on the way to this inevitable Palace journey. Everyone had stories of what made them enter into the infamous Palace. Some people said that they could not go in with a frown, some said they had to come in with red big sticks. Many people came up with theories and fallacies, some even said the Palace didn't exist that it was just a figment of their imagination.
    Down the hill next to a Palm tree, sitting beside a peaceful popular brook where all the people of their land fetched water, lived an old wise man. Many people came to him for advice and counsel. He had a great book that had the greatest tip with which anyone could surely get into the Palace. The three men decided to pay him a visit.
    "Wise one," the first and more confident man started, "we are on an inevitable journey to the mystical Palace, can you please give us insight and some advice on our  journey and what we may encounter?"
The wise man,  being a man of few words, handed them a great book that contained  some information about the Palace and how to get  there. They quietly collected the book and decided to check the mysterious content.
     This book  was huge but had just a few pages and with gigantic writing the instructions were clearly laid out. The men decided to take  turns reading this  book, as they were not really friends they thought it weird that they should encroach on the space of another.  Several weeks passed as they all kept spending time, taking turns in reading this "book of mystery" they nick-named it.....
