Capitolo 24
We would do better to bravely bear our troubles that you try to escape them.
The Trees and the ax.
[The illustration]
A Man entered a forest, and you/he/she made a petition to the Trees to provide
him a handle for his/her ax. The Trees consented to its application, and it gave
him a young ash-tree. Nobody had sooner the man been all right by him a new handle
to his/her ax, that he started to use him/it, and it quickly demolished with his/her hits
the noblest giants of the forest. An old oak, complaining when too late
the destruction of its companions, says nearby to a cedar: "The
before footstep has lost us everybody. If we had not abdicated the rights of the
ash, is probable that we would still have held back ours own rights and we have been standing for
age."
In to produce the rights of others, we can put in danger, our really.
The Beach Travellers.
Of the travellers, while traveling along the sea-beach, climbed to the top of
a tall cliff, and to look for this motive the sea, saw in the distance
their thing they thought it was a great ship, and it waited in the hope to see him/it
digiti the I bring. But as the object on which they looked it was driven from
the more wind next to the beach, them found, that could be at the most a
small boat and not a ship. However, when it arrived to the beach them,
it discovered that it was only a great fagot of batons and one of them
tells his/her companions: "We don't have expected purpose for later everything,
there is no anything to see but a fagot."
Our mere anticipations of the life overcome in the run his/her realities.
The sea-gull and the kite.
[The illustration]
A Sea-gull that was more to house that swims on the sea that walking on the
unloadings, were in the habit to pick up alive fish for its food. One day,
having launched down too much great a fish, its deep throat-purse bursts, and
placed down on the beach to die. A Kite, seeing him/it and thinking of him/it a
earth's bird as him, exclaimed: "You richly deserve Your fate; for a
bird of the air doesn't have any business to look for his/her food from the sea."
