   Hi, all!   
      
      
   ALCHEMIST, by  PAULO COELHO   
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   When the pan had cooled, the monk and the boy looked at it, dazzled. The   
   lead had dried into the shape of the pan, but it was no longer lead. It   
   was gold.   
      
   "Will I learn to do that someday?" the boy asked.   
      
   "This was my Personal Legend, not yours," the alchemist answered. "But I   
   wanted to show you that it was possible."   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   Could the alchemist say, "But I wanted to show you that it IS possible." After   
   all he spoke of universal truth, at least he thought so. But may be English   
   Grammar demands the Past Tense anyway (was possible)?   
      
   Bye, all!   
   Alexander Koryagin
