The Oak and the Woodcutters
THE WOODCUTTER cut down a Mountain Oak and split it in
pieces,making wedges of its own branches for dividing the trunk.
The Oak said with a sigh, "I do not care about the blows of the axe
aimed at my roots, but I do grieve at being torn in pieces by
these wedges made from my own branches."
Misfortunes springing from ourselves are the hardest to bear.
The Hen and the Golden Eggs
A COTTAGER and his wife had a Hen that laid a golden egg
every day. They supposed that the Hen must contain a great lump
of gold in its inside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and in order to get the gold they killed it.
Having done so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they found to their surprise that the Hen
differed in no respect from their other hens. The foolish pair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of
the gain of which they were assured day by day.
