TWO PRECIOUS DIAMONDS*
A Merchant wanted to purchase a gorgeous camel in the market and after spotting one began to setlle for it with the seller!
There was a long bargain between the merchant and the camel seller, and finally the merchant bought the camel and took it home!
On reaching home, the merchant called his servant to take out the camel's kajava (saddle) ..!
Under the Kajave, the servant found a small velvet bag which upon opening revealed him to be full of precious diamond gems ..!
The servant shouted, "Boss, you bought a camel, but look what came with it for free!"
The Merchant was also surprised, he saw diamonds in his servant's hands which were shining and twinkling even more in the sunlight!
The Merchant said: "I have bought a camel and not the diamonds, I should return it immediately!"
The servant was thinking in his mind "how stupid my boss is ...!"
He Said: "Nobody will know who the owner is!" However, the merchant did not listen to him and immediately reached the market and returned the velvet bag to the shopkeeper.
The camel seller was very happy and said, "I had forgotten that I had hidden my precious stones under the Kajavel".
Now you choose any one diamond as a reward!
The Merchant said, "I have paid the right price for the camel so I do not need any gift and prizes!"
The more the merchant was refusing, the more the camel seller was insisting!
Finally, the merchant smiled and said: In fact, when I decided to bring back the bag, I had already kept two of the most precious diamonds with me!
After this confession, the camel seller was infuriated and he quickly emptied the bag and began to count his diamond gems!
But after he counted with a heavy sigh of relief, he said "These are all my diamonds, so what were the two most precious ones that you kept?"
The Merchant said: ... "My honesty and my self-respect."
The seller was dumb-struck!
We have to look within ourselves to find out if we possess any of these two diamonds.
*Anyone who has these two diamonds - Honesty and Self-Respect is the richest person in the world.*
*May you be well and happy…*
*Have a blessed Day*
An awesome post that must be read: Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great teacher, Philosopher and former President of India in whose honour Teachers' Day is celebrated , was an exceptionally witty man. The King of Greece came to India on a state visit. President Radhakrishnan welcomed him at Palam Airport. . “Your Majesty! You are the first King of Greece to come to India on invitation. The last time, Alexander the Great came uninvited.” 😂 Gandhiji: Don’t drink milk, which is the essence of beef. Radhakrishnan: “In that case we all are cannibals. For we drink our mother’s milk, which is the essence of human flesh.” 😂 Winston Churchill while having a cup of tea said to Dr. Radhakrishnan: Sugar is the only English word where "s" is pronounced as "sh" Dr. quipped: "Are you sure?" 😂 Once Winston Churchill hosted a State banquet in honor of Dr Radhakrishnan, who washed his hands before eating and used his hands for having the food while Churchill used...
