Aesop’s Fables, THE OLIVE-TREE AND THE FIG-TREE

THE OLIVE-TREE AND THE FIG-TREE

An Olive-tree taunted a Fig-tree with the loss of her leaves at a certain season of the year. "You," she said, "lose your leaves every autumn, and are bare till the spring: whereas I, as you see, remain green and flourishing all the year round." Soon afterwards there came a heavy fall of snow, which settled on the leaves of the Olive so that she bent and broke under the weight; but the flakes fell harmlessly through the bare branches of the Fig, which survived to bear many another crop.

THE OLIVE-TREE AND THE FIG-TREE L'OLIVIER ET LE FIGUIER

An Olive-tree taunted a Fig-tree with the loss of her leaves at a certain season of the year. Un olivier se moquait d'un figuier en lui faisant perdre ses feuilles à une certaine saison de l'année. "You," she said, "lose your leaves every autumn, and are bare till the spring: whereas I, as you see, remain green and flourishing all the year round." "Vous, dit-elle, vous perdez vos feuilles chaque automne et vous restez nus jusqu'au printemps, alors que moi, comme vous le voyez, je reste verte et florissante toute l'année. Soon afterwards there came a heavy fall of snow, which settled on the leaves of the Olive so that she bent and broke under the weight; but the flakes fell harmlessly through the bare branches of the Fig, which survived to bear many another crop. Peu de temps après, il y eut une forte chute de neige, qui se déposa sur les feuilles de l'olivier, de sorte qu'il plia et se brisa sous le poids, mais les flocons tombèrent sans dommage à travers les branches dénudées du figuier, qui survécut et donna de nombreuses autres récoltes.
