The Magic Pebbles
“Why do I have to learn all this dumb stuff?”
Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my years in the
classroom, this was the one most frequently uttered. I would answer it by recounting the
following legend.
One night a group of nomads were preparing to retire for the evening
when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light. They knew they
were in the presence of a celestial being. With great anticipation, they
awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be
especially for them.
Finally, the voice spoke. “Gather as many pebbles as you can. Put
them in your saddlebags. Travel a day’s journey and tomorrow
night will find you glad and it will find you sad.”
After having departed, the nomads shared their disappointment and
anger with each other. They had expected the revelation of a great
universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and
purpose for the world. But instead they were given a menial task
that made no sense to them at all. However, the memory of the
brilliance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles
and deposit them in their saddlebags while voicing their displeasure.
They traveled a day’s journey and that night while making camp, they reached into their
saddlebags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond. They
were glad they had diamonds. They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles.
