I read stories all the time on email or in the paper.
This one, I felt, was a good lesson for all of us in today’s day and time.
Jan
In ancient times, a King
had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid
himself and watched to see
if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of
the king's wealthiest
merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked
around it. Many loudly
blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but
none did anything about
gett ing the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along
carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching
the boulder, the peasant
laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to
the side of the road.
After much pushing and straining, he finally
succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a
purse lying in the road
where the boulder had been. The purse contained
many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for
the person who removed the
boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned
what many of us never
understand!
Every obstacle presents an
opportunity to improve our condition.
