[Music] once upon a time in a small village there lived a laborer every day he dug up soil loaded it onto his donkey and sold it to earn his living one day while digging the soil the Shel struck something hot curious he dug up and found a shining Stone it was a Precious Diamond but the laborer had no idea of its true value to him it was just another Shiny Stone he tied the stone around his donkey's neck as a decoration days passed and one day as the laborer walked through the village with his donkey
a wealthy Merchant spoted The Shining Stone the merchant who owned a grocery shop was intrigued by the sparkle of the stone and called out to the laborer what's that shining Stone around your donkey's neck he asked oh it is just a shining Stone I found it while digging soil the laborer replied casually the merchant admired the stone though he too did not realize it was Diamond wanting to own it he offered the laborer five silver coins for the stone the laborer thinking think it was just a decorative thing happily accepted the offer the merchant took
the stone and hung it on his Shop's weing skill one day a jeweler visited the Merchant's shop as soon as his eyes fell on the stone he recognized it as a rear and Priceless Diamond he asked the merchant what is this beautiful stone hanging on your scale oh it is just a shiny Stone I bought it from a laborer for five silver coins the merchant replied casually the Jeweler could not believe his ears he asked would you sell it to me the merchant sensing an opportunity said sure but only if you pay me 10 silver
coins the Jeweler started bargaining and said I will give you seven silver coins but nothing more than that but the merchant refused to lower his price and denied so the Jeweler decided to leave from there he was thinking that he would return the next day and negotiate a better deal later that evening another Jeweler happened to pass by the merchant shop the moment he saw the diamond hanging on the scale he recognized its immense value without hesitation he asked the merchant to sell it to him the merchant again asked 10 silver coins which the Jeweler
happily paid and took the diamond with him the next day the first Jeweler returned to buy the stone when he saw that there was no diamond on the scale he asked the merchant where is The Shining Stone the merchant replied oh another gentleman came by last evening and B it for 10 silver coins horrified the Jeweler exclaimed you fool that was not just a Shiny Stone but it was a Priceless Diamond worth thousands of gold coins and you sold it for just 10 silver coins the merchant was stunned to hear this but then he thought
for a moment and chuckled and said I may not have known it was a diamond but you did yet you still bargain for it for a few silver coins and walked away so tell me who's the real fool is it me or you the jeweler's face turned pale as he realized the truth he had lost a golden opportunity to become rich due to his greed and stupidity with a heavy heart and regret he left the show why while going back he was Ming curses at his own [Music] foolishness if we see in our life we
will find that this story teaches us three important lessons the first lesson is that all of us receive opportunities in our life but we often lose them because of our lack of recognition we must understand that opportunities never wait and really come again it could be a chance to grow in life a valuable relationship or something else but whenever you recognize something precious in your life you must act quickly and take hold of it before it slips through your fingers hesitation often leads to regret as we see in the case of first Jeweler the second
lesson this story teaches us is that sometimes being stubborn can cause you greatly life requires flexibility if you stick too rigidly to your terms like the first Jeweler who refused to pay the Merchant's price you may end up losing something far more valuable being adaptable and open-minded allows you to make the most of situations and prevent unnecessary losses the third lesson is that you should act promptly on something delays and procrastination often causes missed opportunities the first jeer thought he could return later and secure the diamond but by the time he acted it was too
late life moves fast and so do chances if you wait too long to act someone else might take the very think you desire so in the end the story teaches us that life rewards those who sees opportunities remain flexible and act without hesitation and delay Miss chances and stubbornness lead to regret but wisdom and timely action pave the way to success [Music] [Music]
