The Rooster and the Jewellauragibbs
The Rooster and the Jewel
This is a rooster.
The rooster is hungry.
This is manure.
The rooster looks for food in the manure.
What does a rooster eat?
A rooster eats grains of wheat.
A rooster eats grains of barley.
A rooster even eats worms.
All of a sudden,
while he is looking for food,
the rooster finds a jewel in the manure.
A jewel is something rare!
A jewel is something beautiful!
A jewel is something precious!
But the rooster does not like the jewel.
The rooster is frustrated...
and says:
"I don't like the jewel!"
"The jewel is of no use to me!"
"I am looking for food,
not jewels!"
"I cannot eat jewels."
"Oh jewel, you are unlucky...
because you are lying in the manure."
"I am also unlucky...
because I don't have any food."
"One grain of food is worth more to me...
than all the precious jewels."
"So, I found this precious jewel, but it's worthless to me!"
The moral of the story:
To each his own.
