Too late..

Raymond arrived in Allberg at 9.pm and he was tired. Very tired. The only thing he needed to find was the medicine. This medicine could cure his daughters leukemic. But it was late and Raymond had to sleep. The next day he woke up early, took his bag, paid the bartender and left. He walked around in the town asking people about their knowledge relating to the important medicine which could cure his daughter.

After some time he met an old man. He was small, grey and wise. He asked Raymond what he was seeking. Raymond told the man what his problem was, and the old man looked at him with his tired eyes and said: “I know what you’re seeking. But Raymond, you have to understand that the thing you seek is very special. But I can help you. Tell me, what do I get out of it?”

Raymond answered: “anything you want. Just name a prize”

“Okay. I have a prize.” The old man said.

Raymond said with shining eyes: “Tell me what I have to do, and I’ll do it”.

“Can you see the hill over there? On top of the hill there is a small wooden house. Inside the house there is an old lady. Deliver this letter, and I shall grant you your cure." The old man said.

So Raymond delivered the letter, and was rewarded with the cure. He hurried back to his daughter.

Unfortunately he was too late.
