双语阅读：搬石头赢金币背后的反思

In ancient times, a king had his men place a boulder on a roadway. He then hid in the bushes, and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers passed by and simply walked around it.

据说在古代，一位国王让他的部下在马路上放置了一块巨石。然后他和部下躲在灌木丛里，看看是否有人会把巨石移开。这个国家富有的商人和朝臣经过的时候，纷纷绕开了巨石。

Many people blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone removed.

许多人都指责国王没有保持道路畅通，但他们都没有采取任何措施将石头移走。

One day, a peasant came along carrying vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the way. After much pushing and straining, he finally managed.

一天，一个农民带着蔬菜走了过来。走近巨石时，农夫放下了担子，试图把石头推开。经过多次的尝试和努力，他终于推开了石头。

After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and note from the King explain that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the road.”

等农夫拿上蔬菜准备走时，注意到原来大石头所在的地方有一个钱包，里面有很多的金币，国王放了一张便条解释说：这些金币是为了那些把巨石从路上移走的人而准备的。

寓意：你不做，我不做，大家都不做。我不成，你不成，大家都不成。
