One day, a king offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. Many artists from around the country tried. The king looked at all the pictures and there were only two he really liked. But he had to choose between them.

One picture was a calm lake. The lake was surrounded with peaceful, towering mountains. Above them, was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Everyone who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too, but these were rugged and bare. Above was a dark, angry sky and heavy rain with flashes of lightning. Down the side of the mountain roared a huge, powerful waterfall. It did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closer at the second picture, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in the crack of the rock. A mother bird had build her nest in the bush. There, in the middle of all the noise of rushing water and scary, thundering skies, that mother bird sat in PERFECT PEACE.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture because he said: "Peace does not mean you must be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, pain, or pressure from work. The real meaning of peace is to be right in the middle of all those difficult experiences, and still be CALM and CONFIDENT in YOUR HEART!"
