Walter's Trade Mission to China and the Philippine Islands

Once upon a time, in the snow fields of Lebanon near the Lebanon Mountains, lived a well-known trader named Walter. He was a hardy man who traveled great distances to trade, bringing prosperity to his village. It was during the harsh winter of 2100 B.C. when Walter had an ambitious idea. He woke up one morning, filled with energy and a renewed sense of purpose. Determined to make the journey of a lifetime, Walter gathered his horses and had them pull two wagons, filled with his finest possessions. He also gathered accounts of his three camels, a mule, and a faithful cow, which he knew he would need for his long journey. With everything in place, Walter decided to embark on his journey to his close friend, Jesse's house, with whom he wanted to share his grand plan. At dawn, Walter braved the chilling winds and heavy snow. As he arrived at Jesse's house, he didn't have time for formality. Walter excitedly kicked down the door and hastily made his way to Jesse's bedroom. In the adrenaline of the moment, he broke open the bedroom door armed with an Arabic pot engraved with ancient Arab symbols. Startled and disoriented, Jesse was pulled from his sleep. Walter, panting from his entry, urgently told Jesse to wake up before sharing his ambitious plan. Jesse, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, hastily grabbed his gear and sent for his farm animals and camels. They collected an assortment of luxury items, food, water, clothing, and even medical aid, as they knew the importance of preparation for the long journey ahead. Walter explained to Jesse that they would be Selling Out, heading to faraway lands like China, the Philippine Islands, and Indonesia to trade their goods and enhance their knowledge about the world. Intrigued by his friend's ambitions, Jesse agreed to the journey. Together, they set off, leaving their quiet village in the snow fields of Lebanon behind. The two friends ventured into the unknown, braving treacherous terrain, pirates, and perilous weather conditions. They attended bustling marketplaces, learned foreign languages, and tasted exotic cuisines. Walter and Jesse traded their goods, from the finest fabrics to rare spices, with merchants from far and wide, bringing fame and fortune back to their homeland. It took them two long years to complete their journey, filled with adventure, calamity, friendship, and discovery. At last, with a newfound knowledge of the world's richness and the importance of their homeland, they returned to the village in the snow fields of Lebanon. Their families and friends welcomed them back with open arms, proud of their accomplishments and grateful for their safe return. And so, their remarkable story was forever remembered in the annals of history as the triumphant tale of two intrepid traders from the snowy mountains of Lebanon.
