One night a group of nomads were preapring to reitre for the evening when suddenly they were surroundewd by a great light. They knew they were in presence of a celestial being. With great anticipation they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that knew must be especially for them.
Finally the voice spoke," Gather as many pebbles as you can. Put them in your saddle bags, travel a days journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad."
After having departed, the nomads shared their disappointment and anger with each other. They had expected the revelation of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and purpose for world. But instead they were given a menial task that made no sense to them at all. However the memory of the brilliance of their visitors caused each one top pick up a few pebbles and deposit them into their saddle bags while voicing their displeasure.
They traveled a days journey and that night while making camp, they reached into thir saddle bags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond. They were glad they had diamonds. They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles.
