Richard's father died when he was five. Later on he lost his mother. An old woman felt sorry for the poor boy and often helped him. Of course he had no money to go to school.

【2】 It connected the village and the town. One morning people found there was a big stone on it. It stopped them from going to town. They had to move it away, or they had to cross the mountain if they had something to do in the town. But the stone weighed thirty tons at least and the strongest young men couldn't do that. 【3】

Richard looked at it carefully for a while and said, “I have a way to move it away.” But few men believed him. 【4】 Night fell and people went home. Only the boy stayed there.

To their surprise, the villagers found the stone was gone the next morning. They didn't know which spirit had moved it away. 【5】

“How could he ？” the rich farmer called out. “He's only fifteen! He couldn't move it at all！”
