And as he continues on his journey..

He runs into his last obstacle. Which is a long and wide river, that he cannot cross. Luckily, he meets a giant turtle, who is willingly deciding to take the homeless man right across the other side of the river.

"Where are you going?"

"I am going to see the buddha, and ask him a qjestion about my destiny", the homeless man replied to the turtle's question.

The turtle then says,
