There was a famous Western sculptor, Michelangelo.
One day, as he was walking along, he noticed a large
piece of marble lying by the side of the road near a
marble shop. He had seen it many times, it had simply
been dumped by the side of the road. He went into the
shop and asked the shopkeeper the price of this
abandoned piece of rock. The shopkeeper said, “It has
no price. It is completely worthless. No sculptor wants
to buy it. Take it if you want, we will be glad to be rid of
it. You can have it free of charge, as long as you pay
to take it away.”
Michelangelo took the stone away. As he was taking it,
the shopkeeper asked him, “What will you do with this
worthless piece of rock? It is useless.”
Michelangelo said, “I will let you know in a few
months...”
