A long time ago, in a remote mountain village, there lived a young farmer named An Niu. An Niu was kind and hardworking, working hard every day, but still living a poor life. One day, An Niu, like usual, was working in the field, and accidentally discovered a sparkling stone. This stone was oddly shaped and brightly polished, and An Niu had never seen such a beautiful stone before. He carefully took the stone home and treasured it. When the villagers heard that An Niu had found a peculiar stone, they all came to see it. Some said it was an ordinary stone, while others said it was a precious gemstone. For a while, there were various opinions. An Niu was filled with doubt, not knowing what kind of stone it was. Later, a passing gem merchant saw the stone and immediately recognized it as a priceless treasure worth a fortune. The merchant offered to buy it from An Niu, offering an unbelievable price. An Niu was overjoyed; he never thought he could possess such wealth. With this money, he improved his family's living conditions and helped some poor villagers. From then on, An Niu and his family lived a happy life. The stone not only brought wealth but, more importantly, changed An Niu's life trajectory, allowing him to understand the value and meaning of life.
