🧠 What We Learn from This Story

This traditional English folktale teaches us that:

Truth is often simple, but understanding takes time
Answers alone do not change our lives—choices do
Wisdom grows through patience and experience
Not every lesson is clear in the moment
A gentle reminder that meaning reveals itself only when we are ready.
