Precious things are for those that can prize them.
珍贵的东西，对那些认识的人才有价值。（自己不懂的东西便无价值。）
A Rooster 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 Rooster, "to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls."
一只公鸡昂首阔步地在庭院里走着，经过母鸡时突然发现稻草里有东西闪闪发亮。”呵！嗬！”他说，“那是我的，”很快就从稻草里发现一颗丢失的珍珠？你可能是个宝，”公鸡说，“这的确很精巧，但我需要的不是这玩意，而是一些小米粒。”。
