The Clever Weaver — A Story from Peru
High in the Andes, a poor but skilled weaver named Inti lived in a quiet village. One day, the village chief demanded new clothes more beautiful than the sun itself — or Inti would lose his home.
Inti accepted but had no fine threads, only llama wool and plant dyes. He spent days weaving under the open sky, studying the shifting clouds, the vibrant sunset, and the golden light on the mountains.
When the deadline came, he presented a poncho so rich in color and pattern that it seemed to glow. The chief was stunned and asked, "How did you make it so beautiful?"
Inti replied, "The sky weaves its colors for free, all I did was borrow them."
Moral:
True beauty comes not from expensive things, but from seeing the world with creative eyes.
