The Jackdaw And The Fox
Aesop Fable: The Jackdaw And The Fox
A half-famished jackdaw seated himself on a fig-tree,
which had produced some fruit entirely out of season, and
waited in the hope that the figs would ripen.
A Fox seeing him sitting so long and learning the reason of his doing so,
said to him, "You are indeed, sir, sadly deceiving yourself;
you are indulging a hope strong enough to cheat you, but
which will never reward you with enjoyment."
