[0] The Stone That Spoke

[1] Many years ago, I walked along the lake shore. [2] I kicked a stone, and [3] I heard something say: [4] "Hey! I didn't like that at all!" [5] I lifted the stone and asked: [6] "These stones can speak, can they?"

[7] It answered: [8] "Yes, all these wise stones can speak; I remembered how!"

[9] Then I asked: [10] "Do you want to tell me your life story?"

[11] It answered: [12] "Do you really want to hear it? [13] If you say 'yes,' then I will tell it to you."

[14] I began to feel angry when it answered like that, [15] so I threw the stone into the lake. [16] I didn't see it again for many months.

[0] The Stone That Spoke

[1] Many years ago, I walked along the shore of a lake. [2] When I kicked a stone, [3] I heard something say: [4] 'Hey! That didn't please me!' [5] I lifted the stone and asked: [6] 'These stones can speak, then?'

[7] It answered: [8] 'Yes, these stones can speak; I remembered!'

[9] Then I asked: [10] 'Do you want to tell me the story of your entire life?'

[11] It answered: [12] 'Are you sure that you want to hear it? [13] If you say 'yes,' then I will recount it to you.'

[14] When it answered thus, I began to be angry, [15] and I threw the stone into the lake. [16] I didn't see it again for many months.
