公鸡与珠宝 The Cock and the Jewel
阅读 : 次
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."
一只公鸡在觅食过程中发现了一颗珍贵的宝石：" 如果首先发现你的不是我而是你的主人，他会第一时间拿去估计你的价值。但对于我没什么用途。我宁愿我发现的是米粒而非一珠宝。" 此故事寓意：有价值的东西并不一定适合每一个人。选择自己需要的才是最有价值的。
