Today's story link is a departure from thet traditional literature I usually post, but equally as good.
It's an African-American folk tale about a man who finds an apple so extraordinary, he feels unworthy to keep it, and so, presents it to the king. Another man, upwon witnessing the king's reaction, decides to present a gift of his own.
All in all, a delightful metaphor of how the value of a gift truly lies less in an object's value and more within the attitudes of the giver and the receiver.
