The Cock And The Jewel
Once upon a time a cock was very hungary and scratching the ground with his claws looking for a tasty morsel to eat While doing so, he chanced to turn over a stone and find a shining gem under it.
"Cock-a doodle-do !" cried the cock and said, "It looks very fine and it may be valuable to some people. But I would rather have found a nice grain of corn."
MORAL: Gems can't pacify hunger.
