Back To Aesop And His Ass, Cock, and Jewel(s)

Lost for inspiration due to brain meltdown.
I turn once more to Aesop.
What insight into this version of reality can be found in his ass anecdotes this time…

The Ass In The Lion’s Skin

An Ass, having put on the Lion’s skin, roamed about in the forest and amused himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met in his wanderings. At last coming upon a Fox, he tried to frighten him also, but the Fox no sooner heard the sound of his voice than he exclaimed, “I might possibly have been frightened myself, if I had not heard your bray.”

Nope.

What about a story involving his cock and jewel(s)?

The Cock And The Jewel

A cock, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious stone and exclaimed: “If your owner had found thee, and not I, he would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found thee for no purpose. I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world.””

Still nothing…

Wine it is…
