ACRES OF DIAMONDS
There was a farmer in Africa who
was happy and content. He was happy because he was content. He was content
because he was happy. One day a wise man came to him and told him about the
glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with them. The wise man said,
"If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own
city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your
own country." And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn't sleep.
He was unhappy and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent

Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the
camels at a stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of
the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it
would look good on the mantle piece. He picked up the stone and put it in the
living room. That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He
asked, "Is Hafiz back?" The new owner said, "No, why do you
ask?" The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one
when I see one." The man said, no, that's just a stone I picked up from
the stream. Come, I'll show you. There are many more." They went and
picked some samples and sent them for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were
diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of
diamonds.*
