"He was sure that it made no difference to her on which day he appeared: for her, every day was the same, and when each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises" (Coelho, 27).
The boy was comtemplating selling his flock and looking for the treasure in Egypt, and at one point, he began to think about chhosing between what he wanted andd what he had become accustomed to. He also thought the merchant's daughter wasn't as important in this decision because he might have forgotten about him. He feels that she, like many people, forget about all of the good times in their lives as each new day arrives. If every day is good, than each new day is like the last, and it becomes easy to forget the good things that happen because so many can happen. This is a very common occurance in real life: every day, you think about how good or bad the day was, but you usually focus on what made it bad. Whenever you bring up memories, the bad ones are the easiest to remember. The boy feels this way about the merchant's daughter.
