CRACKED RUBI STONE
Once upon a time, a king of a kingdom had a very beautiful rubí. The king was very fond, admired, and satisfied because he felt he had something beautiful and precious. When the empress was about to have her birthday, the king wanted to give the baturubi gift to his beloved wife. But when the stone was removed from the storage area, an accident occurred so that the stone fell so that it was scratched and cracked quite deeply.
The king was very disappointed and sad. So the masons called to repair the damage. Several jewelers had come to the kingdom but they were unable to repair the precious stone.
"Please forgive me, Sire. There is no way the cracks on this rock can be repaired. We cannot afford to restore them to normal."
Feeling desperate, the king finally decided to hold a competition and invited all the jewelers in the country. Shortly thereafter there came to the palace of a hunchbacked and shabby middle-aged man who claimed to be a jeweler. Seeing his unconvincing appearance, the soldiers laughed at the old man and tried to drive him away. Hearing the commotion that was going on, the king then asked the old man to facing.
"Forgive Majesty. Hearing your sadness because of the damage to your favorite rubies, please allow me to take a look and try to repair it."
"All right, I grant your good intentions," said the king as he said
give the stone.
After looking carefully, with a sigh, the old man said, "I cannot return this stone to its original state, but if I allow, I will make this cracked ruby even more beautiful."
Although he doubted what he said, but because he was already feeling hopeless and there was nothing more that could be done with the ruby, the king finally agreed. So, the jeweler began cutting and rubbing.
A few days later, he went to the king. And it turned out that the cracked ruby gemstone he had chiseled into a very beautiful rose. Your Majesty was very happy, "Thank you my people. Roses are the Empress's favorite flower, really suitable as a gift." he had made the king he loved happy.
The jeweler went home happily. Not because of the size of the gifts he received, but more than that.
