In ancient times, before people could write, they already had ways to share their feelings and thoughts. One of these ways was the "Stone Letter".

When someone felt strong emotions and wanted to share them with someone else, they would look for a stone that matched their feelings.

- A smooth stone stood for peace and tranquility.
- A rough stone represented worries and concerns.

These stones were given to the recipient. When the recipient held the stone in their hands, they tried to read the feelings of the other person from the weight, texture, and sensation that the stone conveyed.

- A heavy stone could signify deep sorrow.
- A light stone could mean joy or hope.

One day, a young woman gave a smooth stone to her best friend. He felt the calm, soft texture and knew she had found inner peace. He thanked her and asked, "What exactly did you feel when you chose this stone?"
She smiled and said, "It's a secret."

In this way, people used stones to share feelings without words, helping them to better understand each other. And so, the true feelings often remained secret, only indicated by the stones they gave. But in that secret language, they found a special bond and understanding, sometimes stronger than words.
