Вокруг были только камни и песок. Внезапно он увидел сумку на песке. Он надеялся, что найдет в сумке пищу и воду. Он подполз к сумке и открыл ее. Он увидел, что сумка была полна золота. Зачем золото голодному человеку в пустыне? Он оставил сумку на горячем песке, крича: «Я самый несчастный человек в мире!»
