At the start of his journey, when Santiago asks a gypsy woman to interpret his dream about a treasure in the Egyptian pyramids, she asks for one tenth of the treasure in return.

Both payments represent a different price we have to pay to fulfill a dream; however, only one will yield a true result. Which payment represents false hope?
