The Queen’s Boulder

A emperor ordered his troops to lay a boulder across a highway in ancient times. He then crept into the woods and waited for someone to push the boulder out of the way. Some of the emperor's richest merchants and courtiers went right by it and around it.

Many people chastised the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them attempted to remove the stone.

A peasant carrying vegetables came along one day. When the peasant arrived at the boulder, he lay down his burden and attempted to push the stone out of the path. He eventually succeeded after much pushing and straining.

When the peasant returned to collect his veggies, he discovered a purse in the path where the boulder had been. Many gold pieces were found in the bag, together with a message from the King explaining that the reward was for the person who removed the boulder from the path.

Moral of the story:

You will never succeed in life if you are lazy. Hard effort and humility are nearly always required for success.
