One day, a woman traveled alone in the mountains. When she was walking, she found a precious (珍贵的) stone. She was very happy and put the stone into her bag.
The next day, the woman met another traveler. The traveler was hungry and the woman opened her bag to share her food with him. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and said, “How beautiful the stone is! Can I have a look?” The woman gave it to the traveler. The traveler looked and looked, and then he asked the woman whether she would like to give it to him. She gave the stone to him without hesitation (犹豫).
The traveler left. He was very happy because he knew he could get lots of money by selling the stone and he could live a rich life. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.
“I know how precious the stone is,” the traveler said. “But I gave it back. I hope that you can give me something even more precious.” “Even more precious? What is that?” the woman asked. “Your beautiful mind is more precious than the stone,” the man said.
