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. Please give me what you have within you
that enabled you to give me the stone."
