The man took the stone and left. On his way he met a man who sold oranges, so he asked him how much he thinks his stone is worth.
The seller saw the glowing stone, analyzed it and said, "You give me the stone and I give you 12 oranges." The man apologized and said that God had asked not to sell it, so he left Further.

After a while he met a vegetable seller: "How much do you think this stone is worth?" - the man asked. The seller took the stone, looked at her and said, "I'll give you a bag of potatoes in exchange."

The man again apologized and told him he could not sell it, then went back to the road. After a while, she came in front of a jewelry store. He went in and asked the jeweler what his stone was worth.
The jeweler picked up the stone, looked at it carefully, and said, "I'll give you $ 50,000 for that stone." When the man nodded, the jeweler said, "Okay, well ... I'm giving you 500,000, my stone. "

The man explained that he could not sell the stone and left again. In a little while it was given by a store of precious stones; went to the seller and asked him what the value of his stone is.
The seller picked up the stone, put it on a velvet fabric, and looked at it carefully.

"Where do you have this priceless stone?" He asked. "Even if I sell the whole world and my whole life, I would not have the money to buy this marvel," he added.

Amazed and confused, the man returned to God and told him what had happened. "Now, Lord, tell me ... what is my life worth?"

God said, "The answers you received from the orange seller, the vegetable seller, the jeweler and the gemstone seller explain the value of our lives. You could be a precious, even priceless stone, but people will appreciate you according to their level of information, the confidence they have in you, their motivation, the ambition and the risk they assume in your relationship with you . But do not be afraid, you will surely find someone who realizes your true value. "
