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 man opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone in the wise woman’s bag and admire it and asked the woman to give it to him. The wise woman did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the jewel was worth enough to give him security for the rest of his life.
But a few days later he came back, searching for the wise woman. When he found her, he returned the stone and said, “I have been thinking. I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back to you in the hope that you can give me something much more precious. If you can, give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.
