Story of a stone

                                  Story of a stone

Long ago, there was a kingdom. The King was very good administrator. Once he thought of testing his people. So he kept a large rock in between the main road.
In morning, people saw the rock which was in between the street. But people ,everyone thought others nust remove the rock. Time passed. Now it is evening.
But rock is still there. People were walking in side. Hoping that some one else will remove that. No one is ready to take trouble. At that time, an old man was passing in that way.
He saw the rock. He thought the rock is abstructing the way of people. With difficulty, he lifted rock and placed it in side. Then he was about to walk. He observed a bundle where the rock was. Astonished oldman opened it and saw it is full of gold coins.
Then, King who was hiding in side came out. He said to oldman that the bag is his. He placed it under the rock and wanted the person who will lift rock and keep it aside to keep it. But since morning no one took the trouble to clear the rock from the way.
King facilitated old man  infront of everyone and told the truth.
