The Lamp.

A man was wandering in a dark forest. He was about to give up when he saw a light in the distance. Another traveler held the lamp and shared his path with him. When they reached a clearing, the owner of the lamp said:

"Now you carry it on, because someone else will need the light."

Lesson:

Hope is not strong by how long it shines, but by always passing it on to those who come after us.
