One rooster rummaged in a pile of garbage from morning till night.
– What are you looking for, rooster? – the other ones asked him.
– A grain of corn – answered the Rooster.
– But there are corn grains scattered all over the ground!
– Ha! On the ground, even a fool can find them. But, try and find one where there are none.
The Lesson
- If you aren’t doing what the others are doing, it doesn’t always mean that you are smarter than them.
