A wise woman who was travelling in the mountains found a precious stone
in a stream. The next day she met another traveller who was hungry, and
the wise woman opened her bag to
share her food. The hungry traveller saw
the precious stone and asked the woman
to give it to him. She did so without hesita-
tion.
The traveller left, re- joicing 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 re-
turn 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. Give me what you have within you that
enabled you to give me this stone."

Sometimes it's not the wealth you have

but
what's inside you that others need.
