Once upon a time there was a king who was very rich and curious. This king had a large stone placed in the middle of the road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone was trying to move the giant boulder out of the way.

The first to pass were some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers. Instead of moving it, they just walk around it. Some loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads. Neither of them tried to move the stone.

Finally, a farmer came. Her arms are full of vegetables. When he got near the rock, instead of just walking around it like everyone else did, the farmer put his weight down and tried to move the rock to the side of the road. It took a lot of effort but he finally succeeded.

The farmer gathered his load and was ready to leave when he said a purse was lying in the road where the rock was. The farmer opened his wallet. The wallet was filled with gold coins and notes from the king. The king's records say the gold of the purse was a reward for removing the rock from the road.

The king showed the farmers, about what many of us never understand. Where every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
