Excerpt from The Tale of the Stonecutter
Andrew Wrestleman
A long time ago, a stonecutter lived in the countryside. He lived in a simple home and led a simple life. He lived beside a beautiful mountain. He traveled to the mountain every day and cut stone that he sold to others. Even though the man went to the mountain every day, he never noticed the spirit that lived on the mountain. The mountain spirit granted people’s wishes, but the stonecutter never wished for anything because he was happy with his life. He did not want any more than what he already had.
