A Beggar Sang a Song. A Powerful Man Heard It and Wept

Have you ever looked at someone else's life and felt like they got the version you were supposed to have? Follow Bahadur, a wandering beggar, as his journey crosses paths with a farmer, a merchant, a stonecutter chasing the most powerful form he can imagine, and finally, a king teaching his own son the hardest lesson of all. Each person Bahadur meets believes someone else holds the secret to happiness. None of them are right — and by the end, neither was Bahadur, when he first started his journey. This story follows one thread from beginning to end, showing how comparison quietly steals the life we already have.
