Main idea of each part
para 1:
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” The girl pushed the stone with all her might. After a great deal of effort, she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!

Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said, “does this gold belong to you If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.” The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine. I put it in the road and moved the stone over it. Now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.”

Stone
problems, troubles or difficulties in our life
Village
Community
The story wants to tell us that each of us should take responsibility for our community. Not ignore and complain the problems we meet, but to solve it positively.
selfish; irresponsible
Q1:What lesson do you think the king tries to teach his people
I don’t think that the king was very wise, however, because no one learnt anything from his experiment. The milkman, the woman with the water, and the other villagers continued on their travels without having changed their attitudes at all. The king did find one responsible little girl, but she was already a responsible person before she encountered the stone in the road.
Q2. Do you think the king was wise Why or why not
