The Walnut-Tree
Aesop Fable: The Walnut-Tree
A walnut tree standing by the roadside bore an abundant
crop of fruit. For the sake of the nuts, the passers-by
broke its branches with stones and sticks.
The Walnut-Tree
piteously exclaimed, "O wretched me! that those whom I
cheer with my fruit should repay me with these painful
requitals!"
