  1. A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a
  2. precious stone and exclaimed: "If your owner had found thee, and not I, he
  3. would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I
  4. have found thee for no purpose. I would rather have one barleycorn than
  5. all the jewels in the world."
