A stonecutter’s wishes area all granted. What is the moral of this tale?
Oh, if only I were a rich man. He became one, but envied a prince.
Oh, if I were only a prince. But the sun was mightier, and scorched his grass.
Oh, if I were only the sun. But the clouds came between him and the earth.
Oh, that I were a cloud. The cloud’s rain destroyed towns and villages, but not rocks.
Oh, if I were only the rock. A stonecutter came and cut off great blocks.
Oh, if I were only a man. He became a man again and toiled mightily, but he was satisfied.
