The title of the story is The Stone in the Road. It is an old fable about a king who wanted to teach his people a lesson, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road, hid gold coins under it and waited to see if anyone would move it.
The story’s purpose is to tell us that when meeting with problems we should not complain and expect others to solve them. In fact, what we should do is to take action at once to deal with our problems in our daily life. More importantly, we should learn from the selfless girl always caring for others in the story rather than other selfish villagers.
I like the story very much and I think it is very meaningful and helpful to us. Remember: one good turn deserves another.
Sample Writing 1

“The Stone in the Road” is an old fable about a king who thinks his people are lazy, so 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 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 its purpose, 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.

Sample Writing
I read the fable titled “Waiting for gains without pains” again recently.
A young farmer wanted to eat good food every day, but he didn’t like working. One day, while ploughing in his field, he saw a hare bump into a stump accidentally and died. He had the chance to eat delicious meat of the hare. From that day on, he put down his hoe, waiting by the stump for a second hare to turn up, but no luck.
组句成篇
The story satirizes those who just wait for luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need. I hope we shouldn’t be that kind of people. It is working hard that is the most valuable.
What does the fable tell us?
