The Fox and the Leopard
THE FOX and the Leopard disputed which was the more beautiful
of the two. The Leopard exhibited one by one the various spots
which decorated his skin. But the Fox, interrupting him, said,
"And how much more beautiful than you am I, who am decorated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
not in body, but in mind."
The Monkeys and Their Mother
THE MONKEY, it is said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has two young ones at each birth. The
Mother fondles one and nurtures it with the greatest affection
and care, but hates and neglects the other. It happened once
that the young one which was caressed and loved was smothered
by the too great affection of the Mother, while the despised one
was nurtured and reared in spite of the neglect to which it was
exposed.
The best intentions will not always ensure success.
The Oaks and Jupiter
THE OAKS presented a complaint to Jupiter, saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "We bear for
no purpose the burden of life, as of all the trees that grow we
are the most continually in peril of the axe." Jupiter made answer:
"You have only to thank yourselves for the misfortunes to
which you are exposed: for if you did not make such excellent
pillars and posts, and prove yourselves so serviceable to the
carpenters and the farmers, the axe would not so frequently be
laid to your roots."
