Mystical River of the Truth

Mystical River of the Truth

While reading "The Ferryman" in Siddhartha (pages 105-121) I noticed that Siddhartha is a very talented  person that learns really quickly. One example is when "he learned to build an oar, and learned to mend the
boat, and to weave baskets, and was joyful because of
everything he learned, and the days and months passed
quickly. " - page 110. 
Siddhartha is an avid learner. He absorbs every type of information or lesson that is presented to him and applies it to his life. For example, he earns to listen fully from the river. Vasudeva is a great companion that has taught him  the complexity of the life of a ferryman. 
I liked the fact that Siddhartha lives with the ferryman and that he is listened to because  I know that Siddhartha loves attention. He is being satisfied with Vasuveda.
