Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what's inside you that

Others need....

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.

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 this stone

Is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even

More precious. Please give me what you have within you that enabled

You to give me this stone."
