The Mystic Garden

A just king sends three young men of royal blood out into the world to earn their station, and their voyage brings them to an island garden of extraordinary beauty — where they are welcomed, but given three curious warnings. Each youth finds something different to love among the fruit, the treasures and the order of the place. And when the summons comes to leave, what each chose to do there turns out to have decided everything.

A traditional tale from the Jewish tradition.
