Diamond Flute

I had discovered a special, flute-like instrument with a miraculous effect, hidden amongst other artifacts from some distant age. If someone with great faith blows into it, perfect diamonds will pour out of it's holes. Yet, without this faith, this trust in life, only air will come out, and those diamonds dissolve into dust. Note- This parable holds a message. If one has faith, the things of life reveal their treasured significance- everything is like a diamond, some things obviously so, some just from the feeling they generate. Yet, without it, even the most wonderful things will bring no joy and be reduced to lifeless dust.

Whether this can apply to material riches is essentially beside the point- as true riches are spiritual, for those with eyes to see.
