One wise woman, while traveling, found a precious stone in a stream.
The next day, she met a traveler who asked for food.
The woman opened her knapsack to take out food.
The traveler saw a precious stone in the knapsack and asked the woman to give him this stone.
And the woman gave the stone back without hesitation. The traveler went his way, not believing such unexpected luck. He knew that the value of this stone was so great that by selling it, he could live comfortably until the end of his days.
However, a few days later, he caught up with the wanderer and said:
“I kept thinking about the value of the stone and decided to return it to you, in the hope that I could get something more valuable from you.” Share with me and teach me what made you give this stone to me, a stranger, without hesitation.
