"You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." - Abraham Lincoln

A king had three daughters. He was at a loss as to what
responsibilities he could saddle them with in his kingdom. So, he gave
to all three of them some grains of wheat each. He asked them to return
one year later. So, he dismissed them. One year later he summoned all
three of his daughters and made inquiries as to what each did with her
grain.
First Daughter: I fed mine to the Sparrows as I left the palace, I thought they were starving. King did not give any responsibility to her.
Second Daughter: I saved them safely along with my jewelry, they seemed precious and here they are.
King: Hmm. You take care of the treasury. He said.
Third Daughter: "I need some heavy machinery and men to get the wheat." Everyone laughed. Why? They asked. "I sowed the grains, in my land. Now it's grown so much, I want to harvest it."
King: "Hmm. Very good, I'm impressed, your action seems to be the best. You will take care of whole kingdom." He proceeded to give her the keys to his kingdom.
