The rich man insisted thatthe jeweler advertise in the newspapers，offering 25，000for the matching pearl．Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right．
Just when the jeweler had given up hope，a little old lady came into his store．To his great surprise，she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse．""I don't like to part with it．"she said sadly，I got it from my mother，and，my mother got it from her's．But I really need the money．

In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor，clever or stupid，one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we can already see that free education for all is not enough：we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees； they refuse to do what they think"low"work； and in fact，work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor； we can live without education，but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we would get terrible diseases in our towns．
In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it means that we are educated in such a way that，firstly，each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability，and secondly，that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．
