a man learns that if he cries into a particular cup, his tears will turn into pearls. he begins to think of ways to cry. the more wealth he obtains, the more he wants. his life is spent in self imposed sorrow for an intense greed-driven yearning for more wealth. at the end of his wasted life, he sits atop a mountain of pearls and sobs.... holding a knife in his hand and the body of his slain wife.
