Welcome to let it be easy with Susie Moore.

I'm reading to you today one of my favorite fables from Aesop.

And those of you who have my self-published version of Aesop's fables directly translated from the Greek,

it's on page 19. Now, Aesop's fables were written 2,500 years ago. Aesop was a slave who became an advisor to the king because of his wisdom.

And you know Aesop's fables because you know the boy he cried wolf or the story of the sour grapes.

Slow and said he wins the race a tort tortoise in the head, these are all

old fables. And their magic, their wisdom, these stories, they're relevant forever because the human condition doesn't change.

And I actually keep my copy of Aesop Sables by my bed.

I love to read them in the mornings, read them in the evenings,

and they take less than one minute each.

And I come back to my place of steadiness.

I feel like I become wiser by reading these fables, so,

want to keep a copy by your bed?

Couldn't hurt.

Am I right?

So if you have a copy of my book this is on page 19

and the fable is called the cock and the jewel. Here it goes. A cock scratching

for some food for himself and his hands, found a precious stone, on which he said, if your owner

had found thee, and not I, he would have taken the up and have set thee in my first estate. But I have found thee for no purpose.

I would rather have one barley corn than all the jewels in the world.

Think about that.

Okay, there is a hen, right?
