South India:

The diamond mine, "Carbon" in south India has just been bought by a poor Indian, who just now is sitting at his office, reading his latest economic report.
"What!??. 20.000.000 $ in losses this month. Why?", M.Ining screamed and gave the papers too his adviser. "Probably because there are no diamonds in the mine" , answered N.O.Trust. "But why did you advise me to buy it, I am owing the bank 30.000.000 $. I think I'll have to shut this mine down, and ..."
Just then one of his workers opened the door and screamed: "Come and see, we have found a diamond".
M.Ining and his adviser N.O.Trust ran down too their car, and drove into the mine. "It should be real large to cover all the outstandings I have.", said M.Ining to his adviser while they were driving through the mine.
"STOP!",screamed N.O.Trust. A big stone has blocked the way.
Ining stopped the car, and walked towards the stone, while he was approaching the stone, he discovered that it was not a regular stone, as he thought. "IT IS A DIAMOND", he yelled. "Wow", said N.O.Trust, if you sell that, you can pay all your outstandings, and give me double salary.
"Yes, it is at least worth 300.000.000 $", said M.Ining. "But do you know any interested buyers?" "Yes, I know", said an unknown voice. M.Ining turned around. "I am behind the diamond. It fell down right in front of me when I was digging", said one of the workers. (This explains how large the diamond was).
"Who is the interested buyer", asked M.Ining and helped the worker climbing over the diamond. "I know one in the States. His name is C.Ash" "Can he pay the price?", asked M.Ining. "Yes, I'm sure. I worked for him in a gold mine in South America. He has always dreamed of owing the largest diamond in the world". M.Ining thought a few minutes, and decided to head for the States.
It did not take long to carry the diamond from the mine to the van when he told them that he'll double the wages. A few minutes later they arrived at the airport with a box containing the world's largest diamond. While they stood in the line, waiting to check in.... "I think we have forgotten something", said N.O.Trust. "What? Tell me!" "Have you forgot that the USA takes a lot of assessments on imported goods", said his adviser "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. They'll definitely have hundreds millions. It will only be some few millions left to me. You'll have to help me". "I have a plan", he said and told it all to M.Ining. The plan was as follows:
When they asked about the contents of the box, we'll state peanuts in the Charter Party. Then we don't have to pay all the assessments. Both meant that this had to bee the best solution.
"What's inside the box", the women behind the desk asked. "There are peanuts. Be careful, it's a very rare kind", said M.Ining, and lifted the box upon the desk.
"I'll just open it and check." "NO, NO, NO, don't. You know, these peanuts are very special, if you open the box the taste will be spoiled, because of the light". "How do you eat them", asked the woman behind the desk. M.Ining stood and thought for a while and then said: "You'll have to eat them at night. That's right." "Dracula has already bought some", added N.O.Trust. "Permission is given".
A few minutes later they sat inside the plane waiting for take-off. "Flight 213.Ready for take-off" "YES,YES,YES,we made it. USA here we come!"

Two hours later, inside the cockpit.

Suddenly the radio (crackle): "Flight 213, we have an emergency situation here. An anonymous phonecall has told us that there is a bomb in the cargohold". "What do you think we should do", asked the captain. "Don't inform the passengers, it'll only create panic. I think we should dump all the cargo into the Atlantic", suggested the navigator Mr. P.Ejling. "OK, it's better to lose a little cargo than an airplane, and of course the passengers."
The navigator went down into the cargohold. He opened the emergency door and shuffled all the cargo into the Atlantic. (Including the box with the diamo...peanuts).
The radio crackled again: "Flight 213, we are sorry, but the bombscare was sent to the wrong plane. It should be sent to Flight 214. Hope it didn't make any trouble for you." "WHAT!! We have just dumped the cargo", said the captain nervously. "Take it easy, remember that everything is insured", said P.Ejling. "Yeh, I suppose you are right".

Five hours later, at Kennydy airport. "At last. Let's get the box, and get out of here", said M.Ining to N.O.Trust while they stood at the check out.
Suddenly a man climbed upon the desk and said: "To every passenger at the Flight 213. We are sorry to say that all your cargo is lost, because of a bombscare. But of course we will compensate all the lost cargo. A special message to M.Ining and N.O.Trust: We are so sorry that your special peanuts were lost. But we hope that you'll be happy when we tell you that we can give you 2 tons of normal peanuts. They are in the container outside the main entrees." "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
