Once there was a boy named Arav. His father managed an iron shop where he used to help his father with his work.

Arav couldn't understand it. And he asked, "How is that? If the value of all people is priceless, why do some people get less praise while others get more?"
His father took out a piece of iron and asked, "What will be the price of this piece of iron?" Arav replied, "No more than 1 yuan." His father asked, "What will happen if I make small nails (钉子) out of this piece of iron?" Arav said, "Doing this will increase its price."
His father asked, "What if we use it to make a lot of springs (发条) for watches?" Arav replied, "Then we can get more money from this." His father smiled and said, "The value of a person is just like this piece of iron. It doesn't depend on what he or she is now but ▲."
