The Land of the Beautiful Life

ליקוטי שמואל | December 10, 2025

There was a beautiful and rich land, which was called the 'Land of Beautiful Life'. Anyone who entered the gates of the country was amazed by the sight of the green trees and colorful flowers. Blue water lakes where white swans roamed added to the spectacular sight, and magnificent palaces completed the impressive picture. The name of the Land of the Beautiful Living spread far and wide, and many wanted to come to it. But not only because of the beauty of the country, but mainly because of the fact that every guest did not have to work there and toil for a living. Immediately upon his arrival, he was given a palace to live in and three servants whose role is to satisfy him and fulfill all his desires. It is no wonder, then, that many sought the land of the beautiful life and wished to reach it. But there was one thing that all those who heard the stories of the beautiful land of life did not know: the servants and the palace were only available to each guest for a period of one year. Afterwards, the guest was caught and brought to trial before the elders of the land, who asked him a single question: "Why did you come to our land?" and the guest had to give his answer. The visitor's sentence was death in any case, but his answer could only affect the way the sentence was carried out. Whoever lied in his answer was thrown into a cage full of predatory lions. But if he said a true answer, He was put in an empty cage for many days until he died of starvation. This practice continued for many years and no one disputed it. The guests who arrived heard about the trial that awaited them a few days after their arrival, but they knew that they had no choice and their sentence was signed. They tried to enjoy themselves as much as they could during the year they had left, and at the trial each gave a true or false answer, according to what he thought was an easier death: To be devoured by the lion's teeth or to starve.

One day, an old man arrived in the land of the good life, and his mouth was full of words of wisdom and wisdom. As soon as he entered the land, the man was given a palace and three servants, as was customary, but his behavior was different from all the guests before him. Instead of eating, drinking, and other pleasures, he was constantly busy accumulating wealth, precious stones, and pearls. He assigned his three servants a strange task: he sent them out of the country. He instructed them to build hiding places for him and to place the valuables he had accumulated in them. The man's strange deeds aroused astonishment in the land, and the elders
