Once upon a time there lived a slave who was ill treated by his master, he ran away to the forest. There he comes across a lion in pain because of a thorn in his paw. 

The slave bravely goes forward and removes the thorn gently. The lion without hurting him goes away.

Some days later, the slave's master comes hunting to the forest and catches many animals and cages them. The slave is spotted by his masters' men who catches him and bring him to the cruel master.

The master asks for the slave to be thrown into the lion's cage. The slave is awaiting his death in the cage when he realizes that it is the same lion he had helped. The slave rescued the lion and all other caged animals.

                THE END

What did you learn from the story above.

The title of my story is the cock and the jewel.

A cock was busy scratching and scraping about to find food to eat for himself and his family, when he happened to turn up a precious jewel that has been lost by its owner.

"Aha!" said the cock, no doubt you are very costly and he who lost you would give a great desire to find you.

But as for me, I would choose a single grain of barleycorn before all the jewels in the world.

Moral lesson: Precious things are without value to those who cannot prize them.
