Default A Little Story

A little story:-

Once a king had a great highway built. He wantd to see who could travel the highway best.
Many people came for the contest. They traveled all day. When they finished, they complained to the king that there were many big rocks on the road.

At last, an old man crossed the finish line. He was tired and dirty but he handed the king a bag of gold.

He explained, "I stopped along the way to take some rocks off the road. This bag of gold was under one of them. Could you return it to its owner?"

The king said, "You are the owner."

"Oh no, that is not mine," said the old man.

"Oh yes," said the king, "you've earned it. You are the best because you made the road better for others."


Sorry I don't know where it came from
