The obstacle in our path

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he
hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge
rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came
by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for
not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting
the big stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying
a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant
laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of
the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally
succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.
The purse contained many gold coins
and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant
learned what many others never understand.
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
