Once upon a time there was a boy.He lived in a village that didn’t have a lot of food. But he had a special talent: he could turn rocks into bread.At first, he used his talent to feed his family. They were so happy. Then, he started feeding the whole village. The village celebrated him. He felt proud and needed.But soon, the village elders came to him. They said, “This is good, but what we really need are tools. Can you turn rocks into plows and hoes?”The boy tried. He concentrated, but he could only make bread. He explained this to the elders.Their faces fell. They stopped celebrating him. They started asking, “Why can’t you make plows? What good is bread if we can’t farm for ourselves?”The villagers began to resent him. They saw the bread not as a gift, but as a reminder of what they still lacked. The boy felt confused and hurt. He was doing the only thing he knew how to do, but it was no longer enough.One day, sad and frustrated, he stopped turning the rocks into bread.The village, now dependent on his bread, grew angry. “You are starving us!” they accused. “You are selfish!”The boy left the village, wondering if his gift was a curse all along. He had filled their stomachs, but in doing so, he had starved their self-reliance.
