Ever hear a story that so amazed you, you thought they should make a movie out of it? I'm not sure about the moral of this story, but I am quite sure there is one. I may not have all the details exact, but the story is true, as told to me by a good friend.

My friend met a man who told him the tale of his life. As a young man, during the Boxer Rebellion (I believe) the government was teetering and afraid that the priceless national treasures of China, representing more than five thousand years of accumulated wealth and antiquities would be lost forever - plundered, destroyed, looted, irretrievably lost for all time.

This honorable man was asked by government officials to take the treasure out of China and hold it somewhere safe and secure for a few years until the chaos subsided and the treasures, whose value cannot be told, might be returned once more to their rightful home in China.

Years passed. Decades passed, and still the call did not come for him to return the treasure to the motherland . . .
