One night in ancient times, three horsemen were riding across a desert. As they crossed the dry bed of a river, out of the darkness a voice called ‘Halt’. They obeyed. The voice told them to come off the horse, pick up a handful of pebbles, put the pebbles in their pockets, sit on their horses and move.
The voice then said, “You have done as I commanded. Tomorrow at sunrise you will be both glad and sorry”. Astonished, the horsemen rode on.
Next morning, they put their hands in their pockets and found that a miracle had happened. The pebbles had been transformed into diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and other precious stones. They remembered the warning. They were glad & sorry – glad because they had taken some pebbles, and sorry because they had not taken more.
