The Cock and the Jewel A cock was once strutting back and forth in the farmyard, looking for food for the Hens, when he saw a jewel shining in the dirt. "H0! Ho!" said the Cock. "You may be a treasure to men who prize you, but I would rather have one grain of delicious barley than all the jewels in the world." Precious things are for those who prize them.
