In a distant kingdom, a king placed a large stone in the middle of the main entrance to the area, making it difficult to pass, then hid to see if someone would remove the stone.
The richest merchants in the kingdom and some passing courtiers simply surrounded the rock. Many of them spent hours complaining about the rock and blaming the king for not keeping the trails in good condition, but none of them did anything to remove the obstacle.
Then came a peasant with a load of vegetables. He left the load on the ground and studied the rock along the way, observing it. He tried to move it by pushing and making a board of a piece of wood that he found along the way, after pushing a lot and getting tired he finally managed to move the stone. Picking up his shipment, he found a bag exactly where the stone was. The bag contained a good amount of gold coins and a letter from the king indicating that it was the reward from which he had cleared the way.
The peasant has learned what others have never learned: every obstacle overcome is an opportunity to improve one’s condition.
