Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a land far away, there lived an old
man in a house on top of a hill. He had dedicated his entire life to study

and meditation. He was known far and wide for his intelligence, sensi-
tivity, and wisdom. Politicians, businesspeople, and dignitaries came to

visit him and ask him questions. His answers were always correct. He
seemed to have a special faculty that enabled him to cut to the essence of

any problem or issue. When his answers and solutions were imple-
mented, the result was always excellent. His fame soon spread through-
out the land.
