When the girl opened the box.She was shocked that there was only an ugly black stone in it. The girl was upset. The boy was puzzled. The boy asked whether there is something wrong with her. The girl was very furious that the boy asked such question. The girl threw away the ugly stone at the boy. The boy was crushed.
The boy walk down a lonely street. It was fall season he thought. The leaves was falling down as though it was accompanying him till his destination. Somehow he felt that amusing. But then came again the mixed feeling of happy and sad. Dwelling up in his little heart.
There he came across his favorite place. It was a hillside full of meadows. Though normally green. Now it is covered with orange. Somehow it gave a soothing atmosphere. As the sun colors them. He lay down and fell asleep with a heart filled with tears.
"Do not leave me!" he shouted. "Why did you go?" he asked. A voice calling him from the abyss saying " I'm not going anywhere, open your eyes" called a sweet voice to the boy. He opened his eyes and realized that there was a girl. Sitting next to him with a worried face. She introduced herself as sapphire.
The boy sat up straight. But remain silence. Sapphire suddenly apologize to the boy. The boy was confused. You look as though you are heartbroken. Sapphire continue to tell the boy that the girl does not realize the value hidden behind it. If she realized it she would have not forsaken it. I envy her. Ended Sapphire.
To the boy surprised, sapphire was holding onto the ugly stone. He then understood that sapphire can appreciate the beauty that lies within. The boy asked whether she knew what was behind the ugly black stone.
Sapphire smiled and nodded. Behind this ugly black stone, is a beautiful stone. A diamond she replied. Before sapphire leave the boy, she said :
The soul is placed in the body and it is like a rough diamond. It must be polished within, or the luster of the soul will never appear.
