In Sophie Kinsella's "I've Got Your Number," the narrator emphasizes the importance of recognizing value in others, akin to how one should not entrust a treasure to those who cannot appreciate it. The reference to a wise man's words underlines the idea that true worth should be safeguarded from those who cannot see its significance.

Poppy, the character in question, embodies this treasure. Despite her own lack of awareness about her worth, the narrative encourages readers to acknowledge and cherish such unique qualities in individuals. The context highlights the need for respect and understanding of one's true potential, which often remains hidden from the person themselves.
