Stones on the road

King Ferdinand decided to choose one of his ten princes as his heir. He privately ordered a minister to place a "giant rock" on a road with water on both sides. Anyone who wants to pass this road has to face this "giant rock" and either push it away, climb over it, or Go around. Then, the king ordered the princes to pass through the road one after another and deliver a secret letter to a minister as soon as possible. The princes quickly completed their task. Ferdinand began to ask the princes: "How did you deliver the letter?"

One said: "I climbed over that boulder."

One said: "I rowed there."

Some also said: "I swam across the water."

Only the little prince said: "I ran across the road."

"Didn't the boulder block your way?" Ferdinand asked.

"I pushed hard with my hand and it rolled into the river."

"Why do you want to push such a big stone with your hands?"

"I just gave it a try," said the little prince, "but as soon as I pushed it, it moved."

It turned out that the "big stone" was imitated by Ferdinand and the minister using very light materials. Naturally, the adventurous prince inherited the throne.

The big truth: It's too dangerous to leave your destiny to others, or even to a certain person. You don't use your brain at all and just trust others. You must learn to control your own destiny.
