A STONE that once lived in a mountain was very lazy and barely ever worked out. Time would pass, and she would always remain stuck in the same  place, enjoying the gurgling, cool water of the nearby spring next to where she sat.

One fine day that she woke up, however, she discovered that she was covered with moss. “If you only moved out of position now and then, this wouldn’t have happened”, the other stones told her as she tried to clean herself. In vain, however, as many hours passed and most of the moss wouldn’t go away. Tired, she went back to her position to enjoy the gurgling water of the spring once more, as if nothing had happened.

A couple of hours later the moss got so thick she could barely see. “Will it not go away eventually?”, the stone exclaimed. “That’s because you ‘re lazy and only cleaned part of it”, the other stones told her and laughed at her mishap. Embarrassed, and to make sure the same thing would not happen to her again, our good stone visited a hairdresser, who cleaned her head from the moss and even gave her a haircut with cool designs.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror and got excited. “Now everyone will be amazed at my haircut!”, she exclaimed and took the way back to the spring. As she was lazy, however, she only walked with slow, heavy steps.

The more she walked, the more she gathered moss from the ground which made her even heavier. At some point her step became so heavy that she felt as if the ground pulled her. She even got scared at the idea that all the cool designs the hairdresser had made would go to waste, as the moss she gathered started covering her all over again.
