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