The Important Stone at the Temple

On my day off, I went to a quiet temple in town.
Because I walked a lot, I was sitting on a large stone in the garden.
Soon, a person from the temple came and said, ‘You must not sit there.‘
That stone was a very important object for the temple.
I said, ‘I’m sorry,’ and hurriedly stood up.
After that, I rested under a tree, but I was very careful.
