Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day,he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back tohis palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it wasthe first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he wentthrough was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover everyroad of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would needthousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do youhave to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut alittle piece of leather to cover your feet ?"The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a"shoe" for himself.There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make thisworld a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; andnot the world.
