Restingstone (Syriac/Assyrian/Chaldean Version)

There once stood a huge stone by the side of the main road that was regarded as a lifeline of the villagers of Mangeshi. The stone was called "Quatra De Manikhani," which meant Restingstone. Restingstone had been there as long as anyone could remember. It was an important landmark for the villagers. Farmers would return from fields drenched in sweat and weary after walking long distances, and took respite at the great stone.One day the villagers were surprised and shocked to see a strange man measuring across the top of Restingstone in the company of surveyors. Restingstone, which had brightened the days of children and the adults, was about to be destroyed.The story reminds each person to spread the message of hope, faith, and to carry the message of unity in their hearts.This version contains the Syriac/Assyrian/Chaldean story.
