The young man was climbing the hill, slowly a step at a time. His bowed
head seemed to indicate that something was bothering him. Perhaps he was
lonely, or discouraged. He was coming to seek guidance from the wise man that
lived on the hill on the outskirts of town.
Entering the counsellor's house, the young man found him reading, deep in
thought.
"Excuse me, sir," he said hesitantly. The old man lifted his eyes.
Timidly, with a courteous bow and a voice of desperation, the young man said, "I
have come seeking your help … sir." After a short pause, he continued, "I have
dreams that I believe I can achieve, but no one thinks I have the ability
to
reach them. People see little value in me."
The old man continued his reading. After a while, he said, "Before I can
give you any counsel, I need your help. Are you willing?" Somewhat
disappointed for having his own needs ignored, the young man nevertheless
responded, "I will try, sir."
The wise man stood up. Stretching himself a bit, he said, "I may need to
pay a large debt in the future, for which I will need money. Here is my gold
ring. Take it to the market and find out how much I can get for it, but
don't settle for anything less than five gold coins. There is my horse.
Go!"
The young man held onto the ring tightly and upon reaching the market
place, went from stall to stall, offering it in exchange for cash. The fruit
seller ignored him. The clothes merchant told him that he was not interested. The
farmer selling chickens continued to bargain with a customer and waved him
away.
Finally, the young man reached the pig seller's stall. After examining the
ring for a while in his dirty hand, he said with a covetous smirk, "Tell
the owner that I am willing to give him five bronze coins for this."
"I fulfilled your assignment, sir," said the young man upon his return.
"No one in the market is willing to give five gold coins for your beautiful
ring."
"That's fine," responded the wise man. Now we know how little the market
people value this ring. Go to the jeweller in town and show it to him."
When the jeweller saw the gold ring, he quickly stood up and used a silk
handkerchief to hold it carefully. Bring it under a lamp, he examined it
in detail with a magnifying glass. "A masterpiece," he said softly. "If the
owner of the ring is in a hurry, I will buy it for 10 gold coins myself.
But if he gives me time to bring out all its beauty, I shall find a wealthy
customer willing to pay at least 20 gold coins for it."
The wise man listened attentively to the report the happy young man
brought back and then told him, "Don't let the ignorant tell you the value of
something they know nothing about. Listen only to the appraisal of the
skilled specialist, the one who can recognize the true value of a master
artist's work."
And with a smile, the wise man placed the golden ring back on his finger
and waved the young man good-bye.
