Value of Life:
Once there was a man with an inferiority complex. He felt he was no match to others and had no value in his life.
One day he went to the priest and asked, โWhat is the value of my life?.โ
And the priest gave him a stone and said, โIf you want to know the value of your life. Take this stone to the market, and if anyone asks the price, do not say a word. Just raise your two fingers.โ

The man went to the city mall. After finding it, he went into the shop.

The man does not say a word. He just raised his two fingers.
The shop owner says, โTwo hundr
