The boulder !

Welcome to 78th Monday Musings:


A very long time ago, a King had a boulder (a very big rock) placed on a roadway.

Then he hid himself somewhere around and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock from the roadway.



Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by, they saw the huge rock and simply did nothing else than to walk around it.

Many of them even loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them made a single attempt to move the stone out of the way.

Again, some of the chiefs of the village passed by, saw the rock, made no attempt to remove it but instead, walked away.

Not long, a poor peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables.

When he approached the rock, he laid down his burden and tried to move the stone from the middle of the road to a side of the road.

After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

After rolling away the rock, the peasant picked up his load of vegetables and was about to go, when, he noticed a bag lying in the road where the rock had been.

The bag contained so many gold coins enough to make one rich for a lifetime and a note from the king stating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

And He had become rich! , The poor peasant farmer learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Moral of the story :


Always do your best to render the little service you can even when nobody is around. There is always a reward for every good work you.


Every day brings opportunity for you, It could be in form of obstacle, a challenge or else, but what it give you is………………


Chance to change your life !




Make it a great Week !
