The Three Teachers Santiago had three teachers on his journey, and each taught him important lessons. He met two of them on the first part of his journey, the sheep and the king. The third teacher was the alchemist. Each teacher played an important role in the outcome of the book and each helped Santiago to find his treasure.
The first teacher the boy had was the sheep. It says in the book that “the sheep had taught him something even more important: that there was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose,as part of a search for something believed in and desired.”
