The next day she met another traveler, who was hungry. The wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone in the bag and admired it, and asked the wise woman to give it to him. The wise woman did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune.
He knew the jewel was worth enough to give him security for the rest of his life. But a few days later he came back, searching for the wise woman. When he found her, he returned the stone and said, “I have been thinking. I know how valuable the stone is, but I would like to exchange it in the hope that you can give me something much more precious.
If you can, teach me the secrets about the power you have within you, the power that enabled you, without hesitation, to give me this precious stone”.
