Sample Writing
“The Stone in the Road” is an old fable about a king who thinks his people are lazy. He puts a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it.
The story is intended to help readers realize the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story is quite successful in achieving its purpose, because it has a clear moral.
Personally, I like the clear moral of the story. But the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there may be better stories that can impress upon people the significance of taking personal responsibility for their community.
