There is a legend of three riders crossing the desert at night. Out of the darkness came a voice commanding them to dismount and fill their pockets with pebbles. After they had obeyed and remounted, the voice declared, "Tomorrow at sun-up, you will be both glad and sad."
When dawn came, they reached into their pockets and discovered not pebbles, but diamonds. Then they were both glad and sad - glad they have taken as much as they had; sad they had not taken more!
