A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone." "The Wise Woman's Stone" Author Unknown

Teddy ever noticed how in this day and age we are so caught up in our crap many don't simply smile or say hello to ppl walking past.I remember as kid we knew everyone in our neighbourhood and we would say hi and how's it going to ppl we met in the street.I guess things have changed so much we have become so guarded over the years ,we tend to keep to ourselves more ,It's a shame becasue the elderly don't get the companion they used to get from the younger generation.I am all for this adopt a grandparent they run through schools,kids are buddied up with elderly ppl that have no family and they visit them and stuff and it gives them a new lease on life.In this day and age with divorces and stuff it's often the grandparents that miss out when the parents seperate,Grandparents cna teach kids alot in life and i am always facinated by the storiews they tell.
