The rich man decided to go on a quest for diamond. He sold all his properties which made him rich and only took his horse and all the money he got from the sales. He went on his journey and kept searching for the diamond of which he couldn't find. This take him days, weeks, and months. He felt frustrated.
Back at home, the buyer of his properties which include farms was on that farm one day and while walking around, he got to the river part of the farm and noticed something shining. He thought it was the sand and he gets closer to it but the appearance keeps changing as he gets closer. The man did not know what it was and he beckoned on the philosopher that came around the other day and told him about it. The philosopher behold the particle and knew it was a diamond. He felt dumbfounded and dejected and felt for the man who has gone on the quest for diamond. The new man became rich and was highly recognized and no one heard about the man who sold all the he had for the quest for diamond.
