"The Wise Woman's Stone"
Permalink Closed

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, and 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 the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

In my opinion, the woman generosity and courage to give that precious stone to the man without hesitation meant to him a lot more than the money he can get from that. So the man changed he's mind. Instead of keeping the stone to himself, he gave it back to the woman and praised her for her courage to give him that precious stone and he wish he could have the same courage to do that too.

I had to read this twice to understand it. The woman was really smart. She showed her generosity first, but then made the man want to know about generosity as well. She's really kind and intelligent! The traveler was a little wise too. Even though he was initially greedy, he reflected on his actions, and decided that he actually wanted something called 'generosity'.

This is a great story, thanks for sharing Varis!

I think the traveler should just take her food since he's hungry . _ . What could a stone do?

noooo, it wasn't just a normal stone you can find anywhere, it was a precious stone, like a gemstone, ruby, emerald, sapphire, something like that. these types of precious stones are worth a lot of money.

but if you were the traveler, which one would you choose? the gemstone, or the food?

 I guess so too. Receiving the food from a generous stranger who doesn't even know you is already enough. If it's me I would not dare to ask for the precious stone even if I knew that she would give it to me. It's too much that I could ask for.

If I'm hungry of course I would choose food or I would be starving, besides who would dare to ask for a gemstone from some random stranger.

The woman finds a stone, then she keeps it, a guy passes by and she shares her food. And he asks for her stone, she gives it to him. He goes home happy with it. The rest is still processing

It is nice story, but if we think realistically, the guy won't return that precious stone
