There once was a very wealthy and curious king.

This king had a huge boulder placed in the middle of a road.

Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would try to remove the gigantic rock from the road.

The first people to pass by were some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers.

Rather than moving it, they simply just walked around it.

A few actually loudly blamed the king for not maintaining the roads.

Not one of them tried to remove the boulder.

Finally a peasant came along, his arms were full of vegetables.

When he got near the boulder, rather than simply walking around it as the others had,

the peasant put down his load and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.

He took a lot of effort, but he finally succeeded.

The peasant gathered up his load and was ready to go on his way when he sees a purse lying

in the road where the boulder had been.

The peasant opened the purse, the purse was stuffed full of gold coins and a note from

the king.

The king's note said the purse of gold was a reward for moving the boulder from the road.

My friend Mark Sparks, one of the more well-to-do people that you'll ever meet, who is also

a bit of a germaphob, but Mark makes it a discipline to pick up one piece of trash

that he sees lying out in public a day.
