This story was very interesting to me, everyone is obsessed with Sid and his beauty. He goes to study with a teacher but the teacher is all like "bro you are already so smart there's nothing I can even teach you". So Sid goes and meditates under a tree and everyone who sees him is like holy crap he's so beautiful and smart!
I think if I were to rewrite this story I would rewrite it just like that. I used to do stuff like this all the time when I was younger, summarize really old stories in a very modern, comedic way. I always made my friends laugh and I still enjoy doing it today. For some reason, everyone freaking out about Sid reminds me of the way teenage girls freaked out about Justin Beiber back in the day. I think it would be funny to rewrite this story along those lines, of him being a celebrity everyone is obsessed with.
It would also be interesting to focus on Sid meditating so much and focusing on finding the answers in the world, instead of working in the fields and wearing jewelry. That would be a much deeper more serious story, but I'm just not that serious of a person to be honest.
