Once there lived a cock on farm. The farm had many other
hens and cocks.
One day the cock was playing on the farm. He merrily strutted
up and down the farmyard with other hens which were his playmates. While they
were playing, the cock suddenly saw something shinning in the straw spread all
around. He exclaimed with joy, ‘O see! There is a glittery gift for me’ and
rushed towards it.
He fluttered his wings and flew away the straw with his
feet taking hold of the glittering pearl in his small beak.
Looking at the
pearl, the cock said, ‘It looks like this precious pearl was lost in this yard.
Men price this pearl, but for me it is worthless. For me a single barley-corn is
more worthy than a peck of pearls’.
Moral: Certain things are precious things only for those
that can prize them.
