Searching for hidden treasure... |
A story is told of a man who sold his home and farm to a small family in order to fund his quest for hidden treasure. After years of looking through cities, deserts, jungles, and miles of wilderness, the treasure-seeker grew old, sick, poor, and utterly discouraged.
Giving into his depression, the old man threw himself into a mighty river, ending both his quest and his life.
Halfway around the world, the family who had bought the land from the treasure-seeker were carefully cultivating it. One day, while digging in the ground, they came across a most peculiar stone. Lifting it into the light they discovered that it was a diamond—one of the largest in the world.
Unbeknownst to him, the treasure-seeker's former home had been built atop a massive deposit of diamonds and precious jewels.
The greatest treasures in life are often "hidden" in our own backyard.
