Diamond Dust

It’s like the man I know who has a diamond shop and all day long he is rubbing diamonds with a wheel to shape them. When five o’clock comes he gets down on his knees with a pan and a brush and he collects all the dust underneath his machine.

So a visitor says to him, “What’s this? A man like you, a rich diamond merchant, should be worried about dust?”

So he says, “This dust is diamond dust and it's worth my while to lie on my knees and to collect it. It’s too precious. I can’t afford to let it go to waste.”
