Do you think stones can move by themselves? There are some famous moving stones in Death Valley, the US. Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350kg.

One day, a young man was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby. The student said to the professor, “Let us play the man a joke: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor. But you can put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery（发现）changes him.”

The student did so.

The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He found the coin. Surprise was seen on his face. He found the coin and looked at it again and again. He then looked around, but there was no person. He now put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud some thanksgiving words about his family. The student was deeply moved and he said, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.
