The Cock And The Jewel
As a Cock was scratching up the straw, in a farm-yard, in search of food for the hens, he hit upon a Jewel that by some chance had found its way there. ‘Ho!’ said he, ‘you are a very fine thing, no doubt, to those who prize you; but give me a barley-corn before all the pearls in the world.’
The Cock, in this, was sensible; but there are many silly people who despise what is precious only because they cannot understand it.
