| -"There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint |
| -the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all |
| -the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to |
| -choose between them. |
| - |
| -One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for |
| -peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with |
| -fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a |
| -perfect picture of peace. |
| - |
| -The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. |
| -Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning |
| -played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This |
| -did not look peaceful at all. |
| - |
| -But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny |
| -bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built |
| -her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother |
| -bird on her nest - in perfect peace. |
| - |
| -Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second |
| -picture. Do you know why? |
| - |
| -"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place |
| -where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the |
| -midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the |
| -real meaning of peace." |
