THE FIR-TREE AND THE BRAMBLE
A Fir-tree was boasting to a Bramble，and said，somewhat contemptuously,“You poor creature，you are of no use whatever Now,look at me：I am useful for all sorts of things.particularly when men build houses；they can’t do without me then”But the Bramble replied，“Ah.that’S all very well：but you wait till they come with axes and saws to cut you down，and then you’ll wish you were a Bramble and not a Fir.”
Better poverty without a care than wealth with its manyobligations.
