The document discusses a fable called "Mercury and the Sculptor". In the fable, the god Mercury disguises himself as a man to learn how humans value him. He visits a sculptor's studio and asks about statues of Jupiter, Juno, and himself. The sculptor says Jupiter is a crown, Juno is half a crown, and he will give Mercury away for free if Mercury buys the other two. This suggests the sculptor values Mercury the least. The moral is about the importance of humility and not being too proud.
