THE RICH MAN AND THE STONE

Many years ago, there lived a rich man who whised to do something for the people of his village. First, however, he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.
He placed a very large stone in the center of the maon road into the village. Then he hide nearby remove and waited to see what would happen. Soon an old farmer passed with his cow. "What fool put this big stone right in the center of the road?" saod the farmer, but he didn't remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty, he passed around the stone and continued in his way. Another man came along, and the same thing happened; the another came and another, etc. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road, but not one of them tool the time or trouble to remove it.
Toward evening, a young man came along. He was honest and hard-working. He saw the stone and said to himself,"The night woll be dark. Some stranger or a neighbor will come along in the dark, stumble on the stone and perhaps hurt himself."
The young man then began to remove the stone. He had to push and pull with all his strength to move it to one side. But imagine his surprise when under the stone, he found a bag full of money and this message :
"This money is for the thoughtful person who removes this stone from the road that deserves help."
