The goldsmith returned home cursing his fate. When the money was not borrowed, the wife greeted him with an angry and sarcastic remark worried all night he wondered what would happen next.

The next day he did not go to work at the shop. When he reached the shop at the call of the goldsmith, he had a bundle in his hand. He opened the bundle in front of the Jew. Seeing a precious diamond in it, the Jew began to look at the goldsmith with greedy eyes.

The craftsman said: "Owner, this is our family diamond. We are not allowed to sell it. You can mortgage it and give me some money. I will return the money to you and get my diamondback."

The Jew agreed. Muslim artisan marries daughter with loan money. Working day and night, he slowly began to repay the loan. After paying off the last installment of the loan, he demanded his diamond.

The artisan said: "Master ... it was an Egyptian piece. I had turned it into a diamond with my art that even a goldsmith like you was deceived. The money had to be withdrawn. I am a Muslim so I did not run away. I paid you every penny. Unfortunately, you did not value me. I am leaving your job.”
