There is a story in Children of the Mind about a stone that had a diamond inside of it, or something like that, where the Emperor didn't believe the one who found it, and cut off his limbs.

Anybody remember the name of it? I need to find the story.

Thanks in advance.

Look here under "The Jewel Rock."

Google is your friend.

Be careful. Han Fei-Tzu's writings are full of Asian stereotypes.

Having a chinese wife in hand, Mr. Card, I caution you on those Asian stereotypes. [Wink]

Actually, in comparison to a lot of the garbage that comes out which makes use of asian culture, I didn't think you were bad at all.. though the audiobook version might need a little tweaking.. ie, have someone who is literally asian do the reading rather then a white woman faking it [Wink]

I feel like a white woman faking it sometimes.

I mean, just by having someting translated into English, you are viewing them from the outside.

There is a certain counfounding of issues between this and the "disturbing" thread.
