Alexander the Great visits the Garden of Eden

     Alexander the Great eats on the bank of a river. He washes some salted fish in the water and they get good smell, the smell of the Garden of Eden. He follows the river till he arrives to the gates of the Garden of Eden, but he is not aloud to enter. He asks for a gift and gets a human eye. He put all his gold on the balance but cannot get it up. The wise Rabbis explain to him that human eye would never be sufficed with what it has.
