One day a young boy asked his father: “what is the value of my life?”

Instead of answering, father told his son: “take this rock and go sell it in the market, if anybody asked the price, raise two fingers and don’t say anything.”

The boy then went to the market and a woman asked: “How much is this rock I want to put it in my garden?” The boy didn’t say anything and raised up two fingers, and the woman said: “two dollars? I’ll take it.”

The boy went home and told his father a woman wants to buy this tock for two dollars, the father then said: “Son I want you to take this rock to a museum, if anybody wants to buy it don’t say a word and just raise two fingers.”

The boy then went to the museum and a man wanted to buy his rock, the boy didn’t say anything and just put up two fingers, and the man said: “two hundred dollars?! I’ll take it.”

The boy was shocked and went running home and told his father: a man wants to buy this rock for two hundred dollars!! His father then said: “the last one I want you to take this rock to a precious stones store, show it to the owner and don’t say a word, and if he asks the price just put up two fingers.”
