84. The Fir Tree And The Bramble

A Fir Tree said boastingly to the
Bramble, "You are useful for nothing at all; while I am everywhere used for roofs and houses." The Bramble made answer: "You, poor creature, if you would only call to mind the axes and saws which are about to hew you down, you would ha
ve reason to wish that you had grown up a Bramble, not a Fir Tree."

Better poverty without care, than riches with.
84. 松树和荆棘
一棵松树骄傲地对荆棘说:「你是完全没有用处的,不像我,到处都可以拿去做屋顶和建造房子。」 荆棘回答说:「你这可怜的家伙,只要你想到斧头和锯子临身的痛苦,你应该很愿意可以长成一株荆棘,而不希望是一棵松树了。」
穷而无虑,胜于富而多忧。
