Once upon a time there lived a boy called Bruce. Bruce was a kind and curious boy who always wanted to know more about the world around him. He spent many hours talking to his parents, teachers, and friends, asking questions and gathering knowledge.
One day, while out walking, he noticed a bright, shining object in the middle of a river. He climbed down to get a closer look and discovered it was a large diamond. Although he was curious about the diamond, he decided to leave it and not take it home.
When Bruce arrived home he told his parents about the diamond. His parents, being wise and honest, decided to visit the river to see the diamond for themselves, and offer it to the rightful owner.
That night, Bruce had an unusual dream. In his dream, a spirit appeared to him and spoke these words, “Bruce, if you want to be a great and famous man, you must take the diamond from the river and bring it back to the castle.”
Bruce awoke and his dream fresh in his mind, he ran out of his house and dashed to the river. He jumped into the river and swam to the diamond, where he hastily took it in his hand and swam back to shore.
The following day, he and his parents visited the castle and upon arriving, they saw the king and queen outside, holding a treasure chest. When they approached, the king and queen announced that they had been searching for the diamond Bruce had retrieved.
The king and queen explained that this diamond was a special heirloom that had been passed down through their family for many generations. They welcomed Bruce and thanked him for returning the diamond to the family.
The king and queen then told Bruce that as a reward for bringing back their treasured diamond, he would receive great wealth, fame and position.
Bruce gratefully accepted their offer and from that day onwards was known as the richest and most powerful man in the kingdom. He used his wealth to benefit others, and his kindness and generosity were remembered by all.
To this day, people still tell the tale of how Bruce found the diamond and brought it back to its rightful home, thus achieving great wealth and status. His story continues to inspire generation after generation.
