‘The Highway’ <\/p>\n

Once a king had a great highway built for the members
\nof his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was
\nopened to the public, the king decided to have a contest. <\/p>\n

He invited as many as desired to participate. Their challenge
\nwas to see who could travel the highway the best. <\/p>\n

On the day of the contest the people came. Some of them
\nhad fine chariots, some had fine clothing, fine hairdos, or
\ngreat food. Some young men came in their track clothes
\nand ran along the highway. People travelled the highway
\nall day, but each one, when he arrived at the end, complained
\nto the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris
\nleft on the road at one spot and this got in their way and
\nhindered their travel. <\/p>\n

At the end of the day, a lone traveller crossed the finish line
\nwarily and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty,
\nbut he addressed the king with great respect and handed him
\na bag of gold. <\/p>\n

He explained, “I stopped along the way to clear a pile of
\nrocks and debris that was blocking the road. This bag of gold
\nwas under it all. I want you to return it to its rightful owner.” <\/p>\n

The king replied, “You are the rightful owner.” <\/p>\n

The traveller replied, “Oh no, this is not mine. I’ve never
\nknown such money.” <\/p>\n

“Oh yes,” said the king, “you’ve earned this gold, for you
\nwon my contest. “He who travels the road best is he who
\nmakes the road smoother for those who will follow.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
