Once there was a farmer who lived on a farm in Africa. One day, a wise man visited him and told him about the value of diamonds (钻石). He said, “If you had a diamond as big as your thumb (大拇指), you could have your own city. If you had a diamond as big as your fist (拳头), you could probably have your own county.”
That night the farmer couldn’t sleep well. He was very unhappy because he was not satisfied with what he had. He wanted to become rich. The next morning he sold his farm to a man and went to look-for diamonds. He travelled all over Africa, Europe and America, but couldn’t find any diamonds. He became so sad that he threw himself into a river and died.
Two years later, the man who had bought the farmer’s farm found a stone on the farm. He put the stone on a shelf in the living room. One day the wise man visited him and saw the stone. He checked the stone carefully and said that it was a diamond. The man was happy and excited because there were many “stones” on the farm.
