There
once was a very wealthy and curious king. This king had a huge boulder
placed in the middle of a road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone
would try to remove the gigantic rock from the road.
The first
people to pass by were some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and
courtiers. Rather than moving it, they simply walked around it. A few
loudly blamed the King for not maintaining the roads. Not one of them
tried to move the boulder.
Finally, a peasant came along. His
arms were full of vegetables. When he got near the boulder, rather than
simply walking around it as the others had, the peasant put down his
load and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. It took a lot
of effort but he finally succeeded.
The peasant gathered up his
load and was ready to go on his way when he say a purse lying in the
road where the boulder had been. The peasant opened the purse. The purse
was stuffed full of gold coins and a note from the king. The king’s
note said the purse’s gold was a reward for moving the boulder from the
road.
The king showed the peasant what many of us never understand: every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
