The Old Woman And The Wine Jar
Aesop Fable: The Old Woman And The Wine Jar
An old woman found an empty jar which had lately been
full of prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant
smell of its former contents.
She greedily placed it several
times to her nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards
said, "O most delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have
been, when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained
it so sweet a perfume!"
The memory of a good deed lives.
