30、 job, his home, and his friends. He constantly watched the approaches to his cave, wanting no one to find out about it, and fearing thieves.

33、to the first person to come by. Soon a woman approached, and she accepted the emerald with great joy.“Are you sure theres nothing else?” replied the woman. The man shook his head, and pointed to the cave. Now he could see that there were, indeed, some treasures still there; he saw some gold coins. “
34、Take them with you,” he said. The woman took both the emerald and the coins, and went away happily.In a while, an old man came by and asked the man what he was doing there. “What bad luck! Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left from the fabulous hoard of treasure I was guarding.”“Are y

This magic cave has as many riches as your own heart. When somebody discovers the cave, it is filled with jewels. However, if they devote themselves to guarding the treasures, their hearts begin emptying. So does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did.” So it is better to share them than keep things to yourself.
