It tells us the importance of having a Bible in one's native language.
Mary Jones was a weavers' daughter who lived in Wales in the eighteenth century. She was the first person in her impoverished family who could even read. She spent six years saving up her meagre earnings and then, at the age of 16, walked twenty-five miles (40 km) to buy a Bible, only to find that the last Welsh-language copy had been sold.
The suppliers were so moved by Mary's story that they let her have a Bible that wasn't supposed to be for sale. This motivated them to found The Bible Society, so that everyone in the world could access a Bible, free of charge if necessary, in his or her native language.
