In the other children's stories that I've read by Assaf Marcus, the stories themselves were entertaining enough, but each one carried an underlying message about personal development. In "Raymond's Uncut Diamond," young Raymond had no confidence in himself, and he worried about his inability to excel in anything. Fortunately he had a wise old grandfather who taught Raymond using the analogy of an uncut diamond in the rough that has the potential to become a brilliant gemstone with great value when the stone is cut. The lesson helped greatly to give Raymond more confidence in himself and his potential abilities, and to inspire him to develop those abilities.It's a valuable lesson for children to learn at an early age.
