One day, a miner came into a long hall, it has gold embroidered in it's walls and ceilings, the patterns of common gems were also placed in the middle of ceiling, it's curtain has gold used in it's stitching by all hand made, the ruler of the that hall and the country was in it's peacock throne, rare gems were used in it's feathers and wings.
The courtiers bring that miner towards the king. He said, "Oh! M'lord of whole land of our country. You are the giver and taker, so I bring you this rarest gems of whole world found by me alone in the mines."
The gem was weighted 21 kg, eight additional "star" facets around the culet, making a total of sixty-six facets, it was clear then the sky, and shining more then a sea.
The king order his royal ministry, "Gave a land to this miner, long enough to be called city, but make him rich as a province."
The miner's face was more happy in compare of finding the gem. He went back to his village.
The king ended the court before the sun was at its peak, which was unusual to the routine of king, went to his room all alone. Didn't call any of his wives, nor his ministry, only with the gem.
Few days were spent, the king was camping out of the room very rare, except have sex and few important issues, he was all with that gem only. Days were going faster than a river.
Finally, 29th day of getting the gem. King came and said, " I have decided to go one of his fellow king. That is far away than mine kingdom, crossing all the Sahara Desert from Egypt to Morocco. But I also wanted to take the gem with me, to make him jealous of this noble piece of land."
So after listening this his head of ministry said to him in carm and low voice, " Oh! M'lord of whole land of this country. I suggest you to keep this gem away from you, this gem only has its value if a person has water in Desert."
After listening to this, he was so provoked by him, that even his mind could be explode by his temper. So he ordered to arrest him and out in jail till he came back from the trip.
He went on his journey not listening to his head of ministry, after few days were gone in the Desert. A enormous level sandstorm came, largest ever recorded, and destroyed everything that caravan has having. But lucky the king and his gem was saved by getting some shelter of the ruined cart.
But he was having nothing except the gem. After few days of going in the desert having nothing to eat, no water given to his sandy throat, his feet were hot enough to boil any water, and skin was rough, upper most layer was ripped by dryness.
After going few more, steps farther he fall at the ground. He was dehydrated and near to his last breathes.
Then he realized that, no matter how large or valuable gem or item you are having has no value if their is no one with water in the Desert. These are the last words he wrote on sand with his hand and die there.
