Once Lord Buddha took birth as a valuer in the kingdom of Benares {Kasi),and used to value the horses elephants,jewels etc of king.He was very intelligent and expert of his work and set a proper price of owners of the goods come to sell.But king was greedy and due to his greed he decided to change the valuer.He appointed a foolish valuer who set his own price for good and hear nothing.Lord Buddha Jataka story proceeds.

Lord Buddha Jataka the valuer said nothing.one day a trader of horses come to sell 500 horses from north country.Foolish valuer set price of horses just one measure of rice and send horses to stable.The trader went to the Lord Buddha Jatak the true valuer and said whole story.Then the brilliant true valuer Bodhisatta suggested him for asking about the worth of the measure of one rice to the king,and advised to reply all city and sub urban city.King understood everything and he fired foolish valuer and again appointed the Lord Buddha Jataka the true ex-valuer.This Lord Buddha Jataka Story tells us the importance of wit and sincerity.
