ThE school bully had mercilessly picked on Colin and hadn't stopped when school was complete. He would say that Colin could never do anything daring. Colin knew his bully was full of spite but tried not to rise to it. He well knew the verse from Romans which says:
"Never seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God's anger; for in the Tanakh it is written, "ADONAI says, 'Vengeance is my responsibility; I will repay.'""
To get away from the taunts Colin decided to do a long trail in the huge National Park. Each night he would make a fire, placing some boulders around it. He would stoke it up well so that the stones could provide some warmth during the cold nights. As he was completing the trail, some three weeks later, he selected a beautiful stone to take home with him as a memento. Once the bully heard what Colin had done, he eased off with his spiteful taunts.
