<p>A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a
Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. "Ho!" said he, "a fine
thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would
his joy have been. But for me! give me a single grain of corn
before all the jewels in the world."</p>
