He had never seen her before. Seduced by the woman's beauty, the boy went to the place she had indicated. He sat down on the beach and stared out at the horizon, but he saw only what he always saw: blue sky and ocean. Disappointed, he walked to a nearby fishing village and asked if anyone there knew about an island and a temple.
The boy went back to the beach and tried to hear the bells. He spent the whole afternoon there, but all he heard was the noise of the waves and the cries of the seagulls. When night fell, his parents came looking for him. The following morning, he went back to the beach; he could not believe that such a beautiful woman would have lied to him. If she ever returned, he could tell her that, although he had not seen the island, he had heard the temple bells set ringing by the motion of the waves.
Many months passed; the woman did not return and the boy forgot all about her; now he was convinced that he needed to discover the riches and treasure in the submerged temple. If he could hear the bells, he would be able to locate it and salvage the treasure hidden below. He lost interest in school and even in his friends.
He became the butt of all the other children's jokes. They used to say: 'He' s not like us. He prefers to sit looking at the sea because he's afraid of being beaten in our games. Although he still could not hear the old temple bells ringing, the boy nevertheless learned about other things. He began to realise that he had grown so used to the sound of the waves that he was no longer distracted by them.
Soon after that, he became used to the cries of the seagulls, the buzzing of the bees and the wind blowing amongst the palm trees. A fisherman in the village tells the boy there had been a temple on the island, but an earthquake collapsed the building. Even though the island is no longer visible, the people can sometimes hear the bells when the wind whistles through the island.
The boy becomes obsessed with hearing the bells and loses interest in everything else. Though teased, he never gives up faith that he will hear them one day. Browse all BookRags Study Guides.
