What was the king’s idea for teaching an important lesson to his people?
He put a huge stone in the middle of a road, and watched to see if anyone would move it.
What was the response from most of the people?
Most of the people just got upset that the stone was in their way.
What did the young girl think and do when she saw the coins?
She thought that the money belonged to someone else and that it should be returned.
The moral of the story is that we should all take responsibility for our community. I don't think that the king was very wise, however, because no one learnt anything from his experiment. The milkman, the woman with her water pot, and the other villagers continued on their travels without having changed their attitudes at all. The king did find one responsible young girl, but she was already a responsible person before she encountered the stone in the road.
There have been times when I have acted responsibly like the girl in the story. For example, I recently saw some children playing on a dangerous balcony, and so I warned them it was dangerous and had them go somewhere else to play. However, often I'm more like the milkman in the story because I'm very busy with my own work and worries.
