公雞與珠寶 The Cock and the Jewel
閱讀 : 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."
一只公雞在覓食過程中發現了一顆珍貴的寶石：" 如果首先發現你的不是我而是你的主人，他會第一時間拿去估計你的價值。但對于我沒什么用途。我寧愿我發現的是米粒而非一珠寶。" 此故事寓意：有價值的東西并不一定適合每一個人。選擇自己需要的才是最有價值的。
