一颗珍珠.

 


         从前，有一只公鸡在母鸡们的簇拥下，昂首阔步地在院子里走来走去，这时，他忽然注意到在稻草中间有什么东西闪闪发光。“噢！噢”他说，“那是我的”。他一边说，一边很快地将那个东西从稻草下面翻上来。那是一颗珍珠，由于某种原因被遗失在庭院里。“喜欢你的人或许会把你看作一件珍宝，”公鸡说，“但是对我来说，我宁愿你是一颗大麦粒。”

     宝贵的东西只对珍视它们的人来说，才是宝贵的。


     A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw. ' Ho ! ho ! ' quoth he , 'that's for me ,' and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. 'You may be a treasure,' quoth Master Cock ,' to men that prize you , buy for me I would rather have a single barely-corn than a peck of pearls.'

     Precious things are for those that can prize them.
