The Value of Life is about a little boy who feels inferior. A man told him to buy stones, but no one bought them at first. Later, the man asked him to raise the price of stones.

A boy who lives in an orphanage often asks the dean pessimistically, "What's the point of living for an unwanted child like me?"

The dean always laughs without answering.

One day, the dean handed the boy a stone and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will take this stone to the market for sale, but it is not really for sale. Remember, no matter how much money others pay, you must never sell it. "

The next day, the boy squatted in the corner of the market. Unexpectedly, many people wanted to buy this stone from him, so the price went up. Back in the yard, the boy excitedly reported to the dean, who smiled and asked him to take it to the gold market for sale tomorrow. In the gold market, someone bid ten times higher than yesterday for the stone.

Finally, the dean asked the boy to take the stone to the gem market for display. As a result, the value of the stone was ten times higher than yesterday, but because the boy didn't sell it at all, it was circulated as a "rare treasure".

The boy excitedly returned to the orphanage with a stone and reported all this to the dean. Dean looked at the boy and said slowly:

"The value of life, like this stone, has different meanings in different environments. An unremarkable stone, because of your cherish and reluctance to sell, has enhanced its value and is said to be a rare treasure. Aren't you just like this stone? As long as you value yourself and cherish yourself, life is meaningful and valuable. "
