The cock and the jewel公鸡与宝石（中英）

A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. “Ho!” said he, “a fine thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would his joy have been. But for me! give me a single grain of corn before all the jewels in the world.”

一只公鸡在田野里觅食，突然发现了一块宝玉，不知是谁不小心掉在这里了。公鸡说道：“哇，你可真漂亮，要是你的主人找到了你，肯定会喜出望外。不过，对我来说，你却毫无用处。与其得到世界上的所有珠宝，还不如得到一颗麦子更好。”
