Fable
The Cock and The Jewel
A Cock was busily scratching and scraping
about to find something to eat for himself and his family, when he happened to
turn up a precious jewel that had been lost by its owner.
"Aha!"
said the Cock. "No doubt you are very costly and he who lost you would
give a great deal to find you. But as for me, I would choose a single grain of
barleycorn before all the jewels in the world."
Moral
- Precious things are without value to those who cannot
prize them.
