Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. The girl pushed the stone with all her might. However, the stone remained absolutely still. Though feeling tired and exhausted, the girl didn't give up. Then she bent down, pushed it again and again, and finally moved it away. She could hardly contain her excitement and jumped up with joy. Suddenly, she found some gold coins hidden under the stone. Feeling surprised, the girl picked up the coins, wondering whose coins were missing.
The king stepped out from behind the tree. "Oh, are they your coins?" the girl said to the king in a surprised tone, "I found it from under the stone."The king explained to the girl that the coins were placed there on purpose so as to test people's responsibility. Feeling relieved, the king patted her on the shoulder, saying, "These are yours now.Take it as a reward for your sense of responsibility." Indeed, only when people all take the responsibility for the community can it become a better world.
