One day a(n)1 man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the 2 that goes along with them. The wise man said, "If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your own3." With that said, he went away. That night the farmer couldn't 4. He was unhappy and he was 5.
The next morning he sold off his farm, took care of his family and went 6diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn't find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally,7and financially broke. He got so8that he threw himself into Barcelona River and committed suicide.
Back home, the person who had9his farm was watering the camels at a10that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it11like a rainbow. He picked up the stone and12it in the living room.
That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, "Is Hafiz13?" The new owner said, " No, why do you ask?" The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one14I see one." The man said, "No, that's just a stone I15from the stream. Come, I'll show you. There are many more." They went and picked some samples and sent them for16. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed17with diamonds.

When people don't know how to recognize opportunity, they complain of20 when it knocks. The same opportunity never knocks twice. The next one may be better or worse, but it is never the same one.
