Please visit szavanna’s blog. She wrote about “Like the flowing river” by Paulo Coelho.

Hi Paulo, and everyone,
I am doing some studying for my degree at present, and am looking at creative ways to work with children.
I remember the story in ‘Like the Flowing River’ of the man who asked children what they would like to know…. However, I cannot remember the name of it?! Can someone who has the book please remind me?
I would like to read it again, as I think it may inspire the angle/theme for my portfolio of work!
Thank you!

I just bought this book last night and started reading just now.. Its great!
hi, i got my copy of like a flowing river…and i am loving it!
Caro Paolo,
Esse livro virou um dos meus preferidos de todos os tempos. Eu admiro o seu jeito de falar das coisas complicadas duma forma tao simples.
Especialmente quero agradecer pela historia sobre o Manuel. Quando algum dos meus amigos diz que nao tem tempo para isso ou aquilo, eu conto essa historia para ele/ela…Com esperanca que um dia eles vao entender.
Muito obrigada mesmo!

Dr Mr Coelho,
In your book there is this story of a Japanese man who was found dead after twenty years. I was struck by this story and can still remember it after reading your book a year ago. How come nobody searched for him, not even his ex-wives or friends or his former employer. Was it a product of a highly industrialist country like Japan not to care about their friends or neighbor?
I have enjoyed reading your books.
