A long time ago, there was a king to live in a palace. He loved his residents very much. One day, he want to look for a person who was persistent and intelligent.

The king asked his servants to position/place a massive rock on the road. The king faked into a normal person to observer who would remove that massive rock out of the road. Many/a lot of people went back and forth on this road but no one did that. Even, some people were angry because the rock was put at the middle of the road.

One day, Bob, a farmer, approached the rock. He tried to remove the massive rock out of the road and he was successful. After removing the rock, Bob found out a bag which consisted of full of gold and a letter. The letter was written by the king with a message “ A gift for someone who removed the rock”

Please correct my mistakes.

Suggestions, and congratulations to Bob.:)
 
Perhaps:

Bob decided to move the massive rock and was successful.

We'll never know how he did it.
 
Could I replace the word “subject” into “resident”?
