The parable of the real value ring *

Once a man came to a wise man and told him how unhappy he felt and that he did not want to live anymore. Everyone around him was telling him what a fool and stupid man he was. He asked the wise man for advice. The sage glanced at him and promised the man that he would help him, but only after the two of them had finished a task. The young man felt bitterness because he felt again rejected and unimportant, but still decided to help the old man.

Satisfied with man's response, the sage placed a beautiful ring on his hand. The condition was for the ring to be sold, as the sage had to repay an old debt. He instructed the young man to take a horse, go to the market and sell the ring for as much money as possible. The man went to the market and started offering the ring. People were interested in the jewelery, but as soon as they heard his price they immediately gave up. Some laughed in his face, some turned his back on him. There was a gentleman, who kindly and kindly explained to him that the ring was too expensive to ask for a double price. The young man thought of the wise man's intention not to sell the ring at a lower price, and continued to offer it. Hundreds of people have passed, but nobody bought it. The young man returned to the old man and explained that no one wanted to buy the ring because he did not even cost a silver coin.

"Dear boy, did you have to check how much this ring is worth before trying to sell it? Who could know better than a goldsmith? "He instructed him again to go to a goldsmith to determine the price of the ring, and then return to him without selling it. The boy went to the master and, for his great surprise, the price he had made was very high. The goldsmith wanted to redeem it for more, but it took time.

The young man returned shocked to the ring owner and told him the whole story. The old man looked at him and smiled, "Remember, my dear boy! You are just as valuable and unique as this ring. The real expert will recognize this. Why are you wasting time with people who do not even know what treasure you are? "
