Video - Stonecutter's Journey: Sam's Quest for True Happiness

Once upon a time, a stonecutter named Sam felt sad and small. One day, he saw a rich merchant with fancy things and thought, "I wish I were a rich merchant!" Suddenly, Sam was a merchant, surrounded by luxury. But people envied him. Then, he saw a powerful king and wished to be the king. Instantly, he was the king, but the sun made him hot and tired. "I wish I were the sun!" he thought. He became the sun, shining brightly, until a cloud blocked him. "I wish I were a cloud!" he wished. As a cloud, he rained and raged, but the wind blew him away. "I wish I were the wind!" The wind was strong, but a mountain stopped him. "I wish I were a mountain!" he thought. As a mountain, he felt powerful, until he heard a tap-tap-tap. He looked down and saw a stonecutter chipping away at him. "How powerful a stonecutter is!" he realized. In that moment, Sam understood. He wished to be himself again, happy with who he was. And so, he became Sam the stonecutter, content and wise.
