Once,a king had a great highway built for the members of his kingdom.After it was completed,the king decided to have a contest.He invited the citizens to participate.Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best.On the day of the contest,the people came with fine chariots and some came in their track clothes,too....
People traveled the highway all day.Whenever a person arrived at the end of the highway,he would complain to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot, and this got in their way and hindered their travel.
At the end of the day,a lone traveller crossed the finished line and wearily walked over the king.He was tired and dirty,but he addressed the king with great respects and handed him a bag of gold.He explained: "i stopped along the way to clear away a pile of rocks and debris that was blocking the road.I found this bag of gold that was under one of the big rocks and i want to return it back to you"
The king replied:"you are the owner"
The traveler replied"oh no,that is not mine.I have never own such money"
Oh yes,Said the king..You have earned this gold,for you won my contest.He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for those who will follow....
Treat everyone with kindness, even those who rude to you....
not because they are nice,but because you are....
