The Wise Woman's Stone
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 enable you to give me something more precious.
Give me what you have within you
that enabled you to give me the stone.
