Once upon a time, a father and his son were walking in a forest. Along the way, the father had a few rocks in his hand, and the son asked him what he was doing. The father said that he was not putting the rocks in his pocket, but rather, he was assigning each one with a meaning and value.

When he picked up the first rock, he said to his son, "This rock represents your strength. You should always be strong, but also use your strength wisely." When he picked up the second rock, he added, "This rock represents your courage. You should face life's challenges bravely." And when he picked up the third rock, he said, "This rock represents your hope. You should always remain hopeful and positive, even in the face of despair."

Every time the father picked up a rock, he gave it a meaning and imparted an important lesson to his son. As they continued their walk, the father picked up one more rock and before giving it to his son, he said, "This rock represents your love. You should always be loving because love makes the world a better place."

The son never forgot what his father had told him and carried the four rocks with him throughout his life. Through his father's reminders, he was able to overcome every obstacle that he faced. Strength, courage, hope, and love became the center of everything in his life.

One day, the father passed away. The son continued to carry the rocks with him after his father's death, but as time went on, the rocks lost their significance and eventually, he lost them.

The son went into the forest to search for his lost rocks, but he ended up getting lost himself. He didn't know what to do, but then an eagle flew down from the sky and decided to help him.

The eagle took the son under its wings and said to him, "You haven't lost anything. Everything your father taught you is still within you. Strength, courage, hope, and love are a part of who you are. Nothing can take that away from you. You can still be yourself."

The son was comforted by the eagle's words and thanked it. "Yes, you're right. My rocks may be lost, but my father's teachings still live on within me," he said.

The eagle flew into the son's heart and reminded him that he was full of strength, courage, hope, and love. The son found solace under the eagle's wings and felt that everything was going to be alright.

Eventually, the eagle led the son out of the forest and to safety. The son replaced his lost rocks with the lessons and memories that he carried in his heart.

From then on, the son continued with his life and applied his father's teachings to every aspect of it. During difficult times, he remembered his strength, courage, hope, and love, and felt his bond with his father. He carried his father's lessons in his heart until the end of his life and he shared his story, his father's precious memories, and teachings with the next generation.
