Short good story on a big stone in the middle of main road
Answers
Once upon a time, a king had put a big stone in th middle of one of the main roads in his kindoms. Then, he disappeared behind one of the bushes. He kept watching people's reactions to the rock which was placed in a very awkward spot. The wealthy people walking down the street saw this stone, looked in amazement at it, walked around it and continued going on their way. Some other people saw it and started talking about negligence of the people in charge, and that the king isn't doing his job by checking on those things.
Finally, a farmer who was coming back from his field, going home, carrying basket full of fruit on his shoulders saw this stone. He quickly put his basket aside, pulled up his sleeves and with all his strength, he started lifting the big stone all by himself. He managed to put it at one side of the road. When he bent to pick his basket back up, he found a bag put in the spot where the stone was, in the middle of the street. He picked it up and found that it was full of gold, a note was also attached to it. The note said, "This gold belongs to whoever takes the stone off the road."
So, the poor farmer earned the kings gold, and also, learned a lesson, that whatever obstacles one encounter in life, these obstacles must give them something new which will turn them into a better person
