This memorable account of lives connecting in important ways appeared on Indigo Insights. It reminds me to live in a manner that creates the most positive effect on everyone whose life I touch,

Thanks to Ron Bailey for directing me to this story.

UPDATE: Ooops! I should have checked Google first.

This inspirational, fairy-tale has been floating around since before September, 2002. There were 521 listings for it with no attribution. Parables are no substitute for reality in my book. They are beliefs expressed as truths. I prefer knowledge to belief any day as one can accomplish things with knowledge.
