The Walnut-Tree

A WALNUT TREE standing by the roadside bore an abundant crop of fruit.

For the sake of the nuts, the passers-by broke its branches with stones

and sticks. The Walnut-Tree piteously exclaimed, “O wretched me! that

those whom I cheer with my fruit should repay me with these painful

requitals!”
