A Grain of Corn

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.
