STORY :
NARCISSUS , a youth who daily contemplate his own beauty by looking in to LAKE's water , one day so fascinated by himself that he fell and drowned. at the spot where he fell a flower was born called narcissus.
ALCHEMIST'S VIEW :
when he died , the goddesses of forest appeared and found the lake of fresh water transformed into lake of salty tears.
goddes asked the lake about its reason of weeping.it said that was for NARCISSUS. the goddes also agreely said indeed NARCISSUS was beautyfull.
But surprisingly the lake asked "was NARCISSUS BEAUTIFUL ?"
GODDES replied in wonder "who better than you know that ? " , after all he was contemplementing himself every day in its bank
then after a deep silence the lake said....
"I weep for NARCISSUS but i never noticed that he was beautyfull. I WEEP BECAUSE EACH TIME HE LOOK IN TO WATER IN ME, I COULD SEE ,IN THE DEPTH OF HIS EYES ,MY OWN BEAUTY REFLECTED."
