A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious stone and exclaimed: "If your owner had found thee(you), and not I, he would have taken thee(you) up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found thee(you) for no purpose. I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."
公鸡与宝玉
一只公鸡在田野里为自己和母鸡们寻找食物。他发现了一块宝玉,便对宝玉说:“若不是我,而是你的主人找到了你,他会非常珍惜地把你捡起来;但我发现了你却毫无用处。我与其得到世界上一切宝玉,倒不如得到一颗麦子好。”

He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
