It w-as based on the story of an ancient Persian named Ali Hafed, who had a large farm near the River Indus. He was quite contented until he learned of the beauty and value of diamonds, whereupon he resolved that he would no longer be happy until he had a diamond mine of his own. He wandered to Palestine, and then through Europe, until, reduced to rags and wretchedness, he threw himself into the bay at Barcelona, Spain. ♦ ♦ ♦ But, as Fate would have it, the man wrho bought Ali Hafed’s farm found a strange stone, and showed it to a priest, w-ho identified it as a diamond.
