The Travelers And The Plane Tree
Aesop Fable: The Travelers And The Plane Tree
Two travelers, worn out by the heat of the summer’s sun,
laid themselves down at noon under the widespreading
branches of a Plane-Tree. As they rested under its shade,
one of the Travelers said to the other, "What a singularly
useless tree is the Plane! It bears no fruit, and is not of the
least service to man."
The Plane-Tree, interrupting him, said, "You ungrateful
fellows! Do you, while receiving benefits from me and resting
under my shade, dare to describe me as useless, and
unprofitable?"
Some men underrate their best blessings.
