The Stone in the Road is an old fable about a king who wanted to teach his people a lesson by hiding gold under the stone in the street.
The author used the story to impress on readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story is quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I like it because it has a clear moral.
However, while the moral of the story is clear, 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 are better stories that can be used to impress on people the need for personal responsibility.

“The Stone in the Road”is an old fable about a king who thinks hispeople are lazy, so he puts a largest one in the middle of the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it.
The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the
community. The story was quite successful in achieving itspurpose， and I liked it because it had a clear moral.
However, while the moral of the story is clear, 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 are better
stories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal
responsibility.
