In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.
The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.
Lesson To be Learned:
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
古时候，一位国王将一块巨石放在路上。然后，他藏起来，看是否有人会挪开巨石。很多最有钱的商人和朝臣路过，只是绕道走。一些人大声抱怨国王没有把道路清理干净，却没有人动手将巨石搬开。这时，一名农夫拉着一车菜经过。靠近巨石时，农夫停下车，想把巨石搬到路边。拖拽了很久，他终于做到了。当农夫重新拉车上路时，他看到巨石所在的地方放着一只钱袋。
钱袋里装着许多金币和一张国王的纸条。上面写着，金币送给将巨石搬开的人。农夫明白其他人不懂的道理。
寓意：
每个障碍都是一个改善现状的机遇。 Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
