The Travelers and the Plane-Tree.

Two Travelers, worn out by the heat of the summer's sun, laid themselvesdown at noon under the wide-spreading branches of a Plane-tree. As theyrested under its shade, one of the Travelers said to the other: "What asingularly useless tree is the Plane. It bears no fruit, and is not ofthe least service to man." The Plane-tree interrupting him said: "Youungrateful fellows! Do you, while receiving benefits from me, andresting under my shade, dare to describe me as useless, andunprofitable?"

Some men despise their best blessings because they come without cost.
