It's more than just a rock


It starts out as a story about three kids digging up a rock.   But it becomes much more than that.  Easily worth three minutes of your time.

  1. Thank you for posting this. With so much negative news depicting violence and the worst that people can do to each other I really appreciate stories that show the good side of humanity.

    Your blog is a constant source of interesting, thought provoking items. And commenters are respectful - a true bonus.

  2. It seems this video isn't available in Canada. My curiosity has been piqued, and I wonder if you'd be willing to give a brief explanation about what this rocky story is all about.

      It's a link to the CBS source of the story. The video there may be blocked, but perhaps you can read the text.

    1. Absolutely, Barbwire! Minnesotastan is the best, isn't he? I read the article on the Daily Mail website, and enjoyed it; I'm glad I didn't have to miss it.

  4. Thank goodness that rock wasn't at our local elementary school; the principal probably would have suspended the students for wrecking the grass and then paid to have it hauled away.
