When my wife was a school principal, teachers were always putting up posters about, for example, the "Ten Things Bill Gates Says about School" or "What Bill Gates Said Were the Most Important Things in Life" etc.

He may have told a story like this, but usually people create such stories so that their own moral lesson comes across with more authority.

Perhaps it can be as you said. And perhaps this can be true with many other similar "stories".  

What I see as important in this "story", is fine moral message and inspirational, motivating injection that in this materialistic and superficial everyday life offers a spiritual upgrade.... said with different order of words.
