The Cock and the Jewel

A cock observed something shiny and shining in the grass one day as he was strolling across a field. The cock was drawn to it right away since it was such a stunning diamond.

The cock scooped up the gem and held it in his beak as he admired its beauty. He said to himself, "This is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen." "I have to have it!"

The cock started bragging to the other animals as he walked through the field about his latest find. He said, "Look at this magnificent jewel I have found!" I am the luckiest cock in the world because it is mine!

The farmer was observing the cock from a distance, but he was unaware of him as he strutted and boasted. The farmer was relieved to find the cock carrying the jewel that he had lost in the field.

The farmer approached the cock and requested to repurchase the diamond. The cock, who was still overcome by his own ego, refused to sell it. This treasure is mine, and I won't sell it for anything, he declared.

But the farmer persisted, and in the end he managed to persuade the cock to sell the jewel for a pittance. The cock, who was now regretting his choice, discovered too late that the jewel was not as valuable as he had believed.

The lesson of this tale is that it's crucial to exercise caution and consider your options thoroughly before taking action. We must never let our personal desires or pride get in the way of thinking about the worth of the possessions we have.
