It is said that the African farmer had a good and happy life in his farm with his wife and children.  One day he heard that in a part of Africa, diamond mines have been discovered and the people who went there have achieved legendary wealth by discovering diamonds.  Excited to hear this news, he decided to go there to discover a diamond mine.  Therefore, he left his wife and children to a friend, sold his farm and went on a journey.  He tramples Africa for ten years and finally drowns himself in the sea due to lack of money, loneliness and despair. 

 But the new farmer who bought the farm one day by the river that passed through the middle of the field, his eyes fell on a piece of stone that had a strange glow.  He picked up the stone and took it to the jeweler.  When the jeweler saw the stone, he said that it was a diamond that could not be put at a price.  The farmer went to the place where he found the stone and realized that the whole field was full of diamond stones that needed to be cut and polished to shine. 

 The former farmer, without looking under his feet, had trampled all over Africa to discover diamonds while he was living in a diamond mine!
