Acres of Diamonds

In ancient Persia, a wealthy farmer leaves his home to seek even greater wealth, and spends his life in a fruitless search for a perhaps mythical diamond mine. Finally, as age and years of frustration take their tool, he throws himself into the sea and dies, an unhappy pauper far from home. Meanwhile, back at his estate, the new owner, surveying his vast acreage, sees something in a stream, something bright, glistening  in the sunlight. It is  a large diamond, and turns out to rest atop the fabulous Gloconda mine.

- Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them.
