A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious stone and exclaimed: If your owner had found thee, and not I, he would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found
thee 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。 这是说自己需要的东西才是真正珍贵的。
