Fable
Travelers and Tree Two Travelers worn out by the heat of the summer's sun, laid themselves down at noon under the widerspreading branches of a plane-Tree. As they rested under its shade one of the Travelers said to the other, "What a singularly useless tree is the plane! It bears no fruit, and is not of the least service to man," The Plane-Tree, interrupting him, said, " you ungrateful fellows! Do you, while receving benefits from me and resting under my shade, dare to describe me as useless, and uprofitable?" -Some men underrate their best blessings.
