Story - A Precious Stone

A man went to God and asked, “What’s the value of life?”

God gave him a stone and told him to figure out its value without selling it.

The man then took the stone to an orange seller and asked about its value.

The orange seller offered 12 oranges for it. The man refused and told the seller that God asked him not to sell it.

He went to the vegetable seller and also asked him what is the value of that stone.

The vegetable seller offered a sack of potatoes which the man refused too.

Then he proceeded to the jewelry shop and again asked about the value of the stone.

He was offered $100,000 which he refused too.

But the jeweler offered $150,000 again, however the man explained that he should not sell the stone.

In the end, he went to a precious stone shop and again asked about the value of this shiny stone.

The seller saw the ruby, laid it down a red cloth and he put it on it.

He asked the man where he got the stone and told him that he could never be able to purchase it even if he sold the whole world and his own life.

The man was stunned and went back to God and explained to him what happened.
Then he asked God one more time: “What is the value of life?”

To which God replied: “The answers you got from the Orange Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweler and the Precious Stone’s Seller explain the value of our life…

You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but people may value you based on their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk taking ability.

But don’t fear, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value.”

In the eyes of God everyone is unique and precious.

You should respect yourself and know that nobody can replace you.

Eton Mess Cake

 

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

• 300 g Stork/Unsalted Butter
• 300 g Caster Sugar
• 300 g Self Raising Flour
• 6 Medium Eggs
• 300 g Strawberries (Quartered/Halved)

Decoration

• 450 ml Double Cream
• 75 g Icing Sugar
• 2-4 tbsp Strawberry Jam
• 6 Meringue Nests
• Fresh Strawberries
• Freeze Dried Strawberries

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 180/160C Fan, and line three 20 cm/8" Cake Tins with parchment paper.
• Add the Butter, Sugar, Self Raising Flour, and Eggs into a bowl, and beat together till smooth. 
• I use my Kitchenaid with the Paddle Attachment, and it takes about 30 seconds or so. Once smooth, split between your three tins evenly. 
• Add your strawberries to the tops of the cakes. If they're smaller strawberries I halve them, if they're larger I quarter them. Simply plop them on top.
• Once ready, put the cakes into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The Strawberries create more moisture, and make it take a little longer to bake, so keep an eye on it after 20 minutes.
• Once baked, leave to cool in the tin for about 30 minutes, then remove carefully and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Once cool, whip up your double cream with the icing sugar. 
• Spread a tablespoon or two of jam onto your first sponge, and crush over some meringue. 
• Spoon on 1/3 of the whipped cream, and spread. Add the second sponge and repeat. 
• On the third sponge, slather on the cream or pipe it, and add a fresh strawberry for each future slice. Sprinkle over some crushed meringue, and a sprinkle of Freeze Dried Strawberries.
