He took a small taste, savoring the sweetness. Almost instantly, his eyes widened.
"Whoa!" he gasped, his body suddenly feeling lighter, as if all the fatigue from the long journey had disappeared. "I feel... different. This is amazing!"
His friends gathered around him, eager to hear what was happening.
"What's going on? You okay?" one asked, concerned.
The man took another spoonful of honey, almost unable to stop himself.
"I feel like I've just been recharged!" he exclaimed. "Like my energy's through the roof! It's... it's like I've broken through a wall."
Everyone watched in shock as the man stood up straighter, his posture improving, as if he had just shed years of exhaustion.
Suddenly a bright light shot up from the man and illuminated the entire area.
The citizens were stunned by the bright light.
"I did it," he said in disbelief. "I broke through the bottleneck I've been stuck at for years!"
