Zen Koan - The Most Valuable Thing in the World

Sozan who was a Chinese Zen teacher , was asked by one of his pupils "What do you think is the most valuable thing in the world?"

Sozan quickly answered: "A dead cat’s head."

His pupil was flummoxed and replied “Why do you think that?”

The teacher answered: "Because no one can name its price."
