A man once read in an ancient book about a black stone on the shores of the Black Sea, which could on contact, turn any metal into gold. The stone would be warm to the touch. So he went to the Black Sea and there, found a heap of black stones. He was convinced one of these would be the miracle stone.
He picked up a stone, felt it on his cheek, found it cold, and flung it into the sea. The second stone too was cold and followed the first one into the sea. He did this from morning to evening, every day for weeks, months and then years. Three years passed.
One day he put a stone to his cheek, threw it into the sea and then realized that was the stone he was looking for!
