The Boulder
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
Donated by: Melissa ..... Thank you :-)
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 getting the big stone
out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables.
On 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. As 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 others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
