“The candy seller had a smile on his face: he was happy, aware of what his life was about, and ready to begin a day's work. His smile reminded the boy of the old man - the mysterious old king he had met. "This candy merchant isn't making candy so that later he can travel or marry a shopkeeper's daughter. He's doing it because it's what he wants to do, " thought the boy. He realised that he could do the same thing the old man had done - sense whether a person was near to or far from his destiny. Just by looking at them. It's easy, and yet I'vev never done it before, he thought.”
