"The Story of the Other Wise Man" by Henry Van Dyke is a short novel published in 1895. It tells of Artaban, a fourth wise man who sets out to find the newborn King with precious gifts but is repeatedly delayed by acts of mercy.

For thirty-three years, he searches for Jesus while performing charitable works, until his final moments in Jerusalem reveal whether his journey was in vain.
