The Cock and the Gem
stone. A Cock was
Strutting up and down the farmyard,among the hens when suddenly he espied
something shining amid the stray. "Ho! Ho! quoth he, that 's for me," and
soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a
gem stone that by some chance had been lost in the yard? ''You may be a
treasure" quoth the Cock, to men that prize you, but for me I would rather
have a single rice-corn han a peck of gem stones.(สิ่งใดจะมีราคาขึ้นอยู่กับค่าของการใช้ประโยชน์)
