A Cock, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a
precious stone; on which he said: "If thy 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."
