Aesop`s Fables - The Cock And The Pearl
A Cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when
suddenly he espied something shining amid the straw. "Ho! ho!" quoth he,
"that`s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it
turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard? "You
may be a treasure," quoth Master Cock, "to men that prize you, but for me I
would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls."
"Precious Things Are For Those That Can Prize Them."
