A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious
stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was
hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry
traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him.
She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his
good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security
for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone
to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know
how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can
give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you
that enabled you to give me the stone."
