Wise Stone
Source : Google ImagesIn one small village, at the foot of the mountains of the South American continent, there were 328 inhabitants. The village was called Stone Door. People barely survived. They had daylight for only an hour and 35 minutes, and they were not allowed to ignite the fire because there were a lot of flammable substances in their environment. In this way, they guarded themselves and the village from a fire. They could not do anything in the dark except to talk among themselves, gathered in groups. It was very sad. On colder days they were warming up with their bodies, attached to each other.
The elders in the village, daily, transmitted stories that elevated the morale of life. Often they repeated the story, about the existence of a stone of wisdom that illuminates the darkness. It is located in a distant place on the top of the mountain, in the settlement of the mountain sage who knows where the stone is, which would illuminate the entire village. To have this stone, they could live a lot better because they would do more jobs and create better working conditions.
A village guy, named Arkara, decided to find a place where sages live. They all saw the savior in him, and he walked with a determination that inspired a great hope. Even the village accompanied him with the belief that he would return and bring a stone of wisdom that would enable them a new, better life. Young Arkar resolutely and persistently sought a mysterious place, passed through the woods, went in the dark, encountered many obstacles, but even after 15 days, he never saw any man ...
Almost with broken spirit, he lay down under a beautiful tree with a large crown. He dreamed of a dream ... He was standing on a lake of drinking water, the children playing under the rain, which overflowed over the entire landscape.
He saw a beautiful girl who was carrying a full basket of food, stood at his feet, kneeled, and asked: "Do you want to be here forever, with me, that we have a wonderful life? You do not have to work here, the sun warms us every day, everyone is happy ... "At that moment, Arkar felt a strong pain in his chest, he remembered his village and the misery in which people lived. And he answered the beautiful girl: "I promised to my tribe that I would bring a stone that would revive the whole village and bring happiness to every home. I have to fulfill this sacred task. Thank you for the hospitality, the beautiful food and the paradise that you offered me. I can not be happy if I do not fulfill the mission that I set out. After all, this is just a dream, and when I wake up, this will all disappear like a fog ... "

You're the person who did it right. When you wake up, you will see the wise men, they will give you everything . " Arkara awoke, immediately recalled the whole dream, his faith is returned, because he felt that the heavenly powers blessed him. He got up and went out of the woods. He saw people sitting around the fire,
he ran to them - a joyful one who finally sees people. They invited him to join them. One old man was their leader and asked him why he came here.The young man explained it to him, and the old man replied: "Arkara, my son, the stones you are looking for is under your feet. We have a day for 24 hours, take the stones and bring it to your village. Remember Arkara - Only by pure heart and with love to the creator and everything that is living on the planet you can rock the power of stone that will light your entire village. "
Arkara returned to the village with stones. People were happy because they can live again normally. Arkara laid stones on the streets, he gave to each inhabitant enough stones to have for their homes and gardens. There was no light! Everyone was disappointed! Everyone thought that he only had the right stone.Screaming at Arka, they gathered around his house. He went out and said to them: "Why your heart is not clear, you need to believe in the power of the stone.? Believe in your creator and fill the heart with love! The stone will work for everyone who fulfills these words " As one of the peasants of the village changed in his heart - so did the stone began to give light.In the end, the whole village and every house in it shone with light.
