The Oak And The Woodcutters
Aesop Fable: 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.
