The Olive-Tree And The Fig-Tree
Aesop Fable: The Olive-Tree And The Fig-Tree
The olive-tree ridiculed the Fig-Tree because, while she
was green all the year round, the Fig-Tree changed its leaves
with the seasons.
A shower of snow fell upon them, and,
finding the Olive full of foliage, it settled upon its branches
and broke them down with its weight, at once despoiling
it of its beauty and killing the tree.
But finding the Fig-
Tree denuded of leaves, the snow fell through to the
ground, and did not injure it at all.
