The Cock and the Jewel
A COCK,scratching for food for himself and his hens,found a precious stone and exclaimed:"If your owner had found thee(you),and not I,he would have taken thee(you) up,and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found thee(you) for no purpose.I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."
一只公鸡在田野里为自己和母鸡们寻找食物.他发现了一块宝玉,便对宝玉说:“若不 是我,而是你的主人找到了你,他会非常珍惜地把你捡起来;但我发现了你却毫无用处.我 与其得到世界上一切宝玉,倒不如得到一颗麦子好.”
故事告诉我们:
自己需要的东西才是真正珍贵的.
