In ancient times, the king placed a boulder on a roadway. Then he hid 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.

big stone out of the ways. 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 lots of pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant
picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had
been.
