MAGIC STONE

They say that after the fire in the Great Library of Alexandria,
Only one book. It was the most usual book: boring and uninteresting. Her
Sold for a few coins to some poor man, who even read something properly
Could not.
So, this book, which seemed so boring and uninteresting, at the very
It was one of the most valuable books in the world, because on the inside
Covers in large round letters were inscribed a few sentences,
Containing the secret of a magic stone - a tiny rounded stone, capable of
Turn everything into gold into what he touched.




The text said that this valuable stone lay on the shore of the Black Sea
Coast alongside thousands of similar stones. The only difference between them
Was that all the stones to the touch were cold, but this one -
Warm, like he was alive. The man thanked fate for the wonderful
gift. He sold all his property, took a large amount of money to
The opportunity to live on the Black Sea coast for one year. is he
Went to the sea, broke a tent on the shore and began scrupulous work on
The search for a wonderful pebble.
He worked this way: he raised one stone; If it turned out to be cold on
Touch, he did not throw it away - in that case he would have had dozens of times
Raise the same stones, no, he threw it into the sea. Day after day
The person scrupulously raised and felt the stones: raise one if he
Cold - throwing into the sea; Pick up the next ... and so on.
So he spent one week, a month, ten months, a whole year on the shore.
Then he borrowed more money and worked ashore for another two years.
So he continued: he lifted the stone, if it turned out to be cold - threw it in
sea. Hour after hour, week after week ... there is no magic stone.
One evening he lifted a stone, and he was warm - from a great
Happiness man threw him into the Black Sea!

Test: What kind of scout are you?

MATA HARI Your work will depend only on that, Would you like to do it or not, Whether it will be interesting for you the proposed occupation or not. No orders will force you to act contrary to your wishes. You need inspiration to take on some kind of adventure. Alas, this approach does not foretell stable work. But you will be assigned tasks, Which spies with the standard approach will not be able to. Pass the test "What are you scouting?" Mata Hari ("The Eye of Dawn") Mata Hari. This woman became a legend during her lifetime. Margaret Gertrud Celle MacLeod, who went down in history as Mata Hari, was born in 1876 in the small Dutch town of Leywarden in the family of a middle-class businessman. She graduated from a boarding school at a Catholic monastery and, at the age of 19, married a Dutch officer, MacLeod, who turned out to be a completely depraved man, prompting a young wife to engage in prostitution in order to earn money for her ...

I was asked: "What are you writing about?". .. And you know, without thinking for a long time, I answered that everything was good. So much around us good, kind. I just started to notice it myself. Every person is like a sponge. He absorbs what surrounds him. Whether we want it or not, it does not depend on us. We can just walk past something or read it, and sometimes not even notice what it was. But all this remains in us, as on a film, our subconscious mind does the work for us, what would later be used to our benefit ... It does not ask us for advice - we ask him. And if this "something" falls on a favorable soil, it gives incredible growth. I'm talking about the "grain of happiness". Which can be sown in the minds of people. And this can bring a rich harvest. I write a kind of fairy tale for adults, for those adults who love good ... Irina Slobodskaya
