A story

This is a nice story that I wanted to share. People who want to take the message can take but for others it can be just nice read.
Once a man on his deathbed called his son and handed him a book saying that this is a treasure and to make full use of it. After a few more advices the man passed away. His son was very disapointed not only on losing his father but also due to the fact that his father had left him nothing of real value except for the book and so he did not even open the book to see what it was about. After a few days he decided that he would try to make some money by selling the book. So he went around asking people to buy the book and was ready to take what ever he could get for the book. One stranger was interested in the book for some unknown reason and asked to see the book. On sifting through the pages he found that the book contained the maps to many treasures. So he offered to buy the book for Rs.1000 and the man happily sold the book at the same time laughing to himself at the supposed stupidity of the man to have bought a book worth close to nothing for such a huge sum while the stranger was laughing to himself at the stupidity of the man who had sold the book without even sifting through the pages.

The first question that might come to you is that what if the treasure maps were fictious and if it was true why did the man's father not go after the treasures himself. My answer just enjoy the story.
