 A short story filled with insights on life. Reminded me of the Little Prince. It’s less concerned with having a discernible plot or complex side characters and more concerned with making you think. Not for everyone, it's very metaphorical, but I enjoyed it. Honestly, as long as you don't take it's advice (which is mostly useless and inaccurate) it's a nice adventure.
