Hello dear friends of steemit, thank you for being present on my blog and accompanying with reading my post. This is an adaptation of the story of "The touchstone". Navigating the web crosses me with this beautiful story, speaks of two men one of them an old wise man and the other an ambitious, the old man will reveal a secret to the ambitious man and this will learn a lesson, a beautiful story that begins like this.

Many years ago in a mountain village in Siberia lived a very old man, a man who throughout his life spent his days traveling and enjoying everything that surrounded him, he knew all the wonders of the world and every precious metal in him , This gave him an incalculable fortune, known by all the inhabitants of the town.

As a companion and friend had a man who had accompanied him his last years, was a very good man and partner, had no no for an answer, only had an evil, was too ambitious, being ambitious is not bad, but to the extreme of not Enjoy life by ambition is not healthy.

In the last few days he felt very tired for the years he lived, he knew that at any moment he must go somewhere else for his eternal rest, products of his travels had many secrets kept, among them the existence of a precious precious stone.

A whole week sat each afternoon with his friend and was revealing his secrets until he reached the last. The Azabache stone.

The man upon hearing of his existence could not close his mouth of astonishment, the old man told his friend that it was a very valuable stone, a single bit was enough to make a millionaire who had it

The man who was very ambitious wanted to know where to look for that stone.

Do not make trouble that is not so important, what is important is not where, but how! Said the astute old man.

The ambitious man increasingly understood less, scratched his head in sign of not understanding

Quiet, Quiet, my friend! Said the old man

This jet stone you can find it on the beaches, the lakes that come down from the hills or in the clearings of the springs, that's why I told you that the problem was not where but, as the old man repeated,

You have to search for it among all the black boulders! So it will not be an easy mission, said the old man

But how will I recognize? If I've never seen one and you do not have one to teach me. I answer the man.

You worry too much dear friend! It is wise to deduce, all the stones that are near the water, will be cold, the jet stone never loses heat or contact with the snow, so it will be very easy to recognize by your temperature.

The ambitious man knew it would not be an easy mission, but he blindly trusted his friend, who had made a fortune through the world and collected precious metals.

Very determined before dawn he set out on a journey to the mountains, began his search in the lakes that came down from them, and when he arrived he began to test every black stone that was in his path, he took them with his hands when he felt cold, Water making little tops at the water's edge, he would crouch again and pick up a few, check their temperature and throw them back.

Every day he got up with the sunrise and returned without luck when the sun was opposing, this work did for many days, then months were made and the stone did not appear, were it not for his ambition he would have given up long ago weather.

Every day I went for a walk on the beaches and the same procedure, in the end he took it more calmly, looking for the stone while walking and enjoying the nature, every day that passed he was happier to see things that before he did not value the Vegetation, birds, insects, walked on a stone and felt the temperature and threw them.

In the end the man became automatic, walking, taking the stone and throwing, enjoying the nature, that was how one day being distracted he took the jet stone and threw it into the water making little toes flush with it, the stone went into it Deep of the sea, when sinking its reflexes arrived at its head and realized that that stone was hot.

Nothing could do, the stone had disappeared deep in the sea, had the jet stone in his hands, was rich for a few seconds and let it go, another person in his place would have hit the cry in the sky, however he Took it very calmly, in these last months of his life realized that the most valuable was around him and not in a precious stone, when returning to the old man's home to tell him what happened, he was found dead.

This was the last teaching of the old man, the true value of things is not in the material, but in the small things that surrounds us.
