Fortælleren er en nylig afdød rejseleder, der overvåger 11 amerikanske kunstturister på rejse i Burma, hvor de kidnappes af venlige karener, der leder efter en reinkarneret beskytter. Kultursammenstødet bliver voldsomt, grinagtigt, givende og personligt berigende for alle.
An amusing story about rich people who's trip around Asia was waylaid in Burma (a/k/a Myanmar) was waylaid by a traditional tribe as their avenue to recognition and survival. Heard as an audiobook, appropriately accented voices made this very entertaining. ( )

The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding. - Albert Camus
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, werhe they flop and twirl. "Don't be scared," I tell those fishes. "I am saving you from drowning." Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes. - Anonymous

I can't say more than that, for it should remain a mystery, one that never ends.
