The Pearl

She asked him, " are you sure that you want to go inside?"
He nodded excitedly.

It is a gallery, selling jewelry. It announced that it will display the most precious pearl in the world!

Since this announcement in the news, he didn't sleep a day. All of his friends heard his story. He kept telling them, "I captured the most precious pearl in the world. But it was stolen from me."

Most of his friends doubted that this is a true story, they informed that they never saw this pearl. They also confirm that their friend became a different person since then. He turned to be not a focusing person and his face was changed.


Every now and then, he mentioned this pearl, but later he stopped mentioning this point again to prevent his friends hard jokes.

After many years on a very regular evening. One of his friends said, "did anyone heard about the auction which will be held in the city?"
"What auction?" He asked in a very serious sound.
Everyone remained silent in a weird way.
"What auction?" He repeated angrily.

"They are saying that this is the most amazing pearl in the world."

It is one of these moments where time just stopped! They understood that it is a no joke for him. They understood that it was wrong to tell this info to him.

They hoped to know what's in his mind! But he left early.
Next day he was not there, he traveled to the city.

He stood in front of the main door of the gallery with his wife.
He remained looking at the advertisement.
"Are you ok?" She asked him.
He didn't know what to answer.

She asked him, " are you sure that you want to go inside?"
He nodded excitedly, but very uncertain.

He knew if he entered, everything won't be the same anymore.

He entered with his wife

"This is my pearl!" he screamed from his heart.
"It was stolen from me."

He was shivering and his tears were covering his entire face.

The security kicked them out.

The woman was crying as well, she knew what will her husband do.

"We will buy it!" He said.

They returned to their city. And on the second day he was selling his 2 cows and his land. People remained silent while looking at them, they didnt know what to say!


and here the story ends
...
But what starts are the questions!
I do not know the end of this story. Part of me blames him for selling everything for a pearl.
The other part of me admires his devoted wife.
and the rest of me envies his sincerity.

This story is important to the son of man, so it must be important to me, even if i dont know the details, but i know that the master admires him, and making him as a reference.

what did he do? this is not the question which I should be curious about!
what am I doing? is my concern.
