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 this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious.

you that enabled you to give me this stone.
