Rick was a farmer in Austria. One day a wise man came and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with them. The wise man said if you had a diamond the size of your own thumb, you could buy its own city, if you had a diamond the size of your fist you could probably buy it own country and then the wise man left that night rick couldn't sleep. He was unhappy and discontented.

The next morning Rick made arrangements to sell his farm took care of his family and went off to search for diamond .He looked everywhere and couldn't find anything. He looked all through other countries could not find any by the time he got to Africa. He was emotionally, physically and financially broken. He was so disheartened and he committed suicide.

After recovery he went back to the home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camel at the stream the ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparked like a rainbow. He thought would look good in his living room. He picked up the stone put it mantle piece. That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked is Rick back the new owner said, no why Do you ask. The wise man said because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see that the man said no that's just a stone I picked from the stream. Come, I will show you there are many more they went picked some samples and sent them to the laboratory for analysis. Sure enough. The stones were diamonds they found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds
