Las 3 Preguntas

A king who has always wanted to know the answers to three questions sets out to find someone wise enough to tell him. When is the right moment to act? Who are the people that matter most? What is the most important thing to do? Along the way he meets the advisers and sages he hopes will settle his doubts, and the replies he receives are not what he expected. Bucay uses this short tale to ask what it means to live with attention in the present.
