298.The Shipwrecked Man and the Sea
A SHIPWRECKED MAN,having been cast upon a certain shore,slept after his buffetings with the deep.After a while he awoke,and looking upon the Sea,loaded it with reproaches.He argued that it enticed men with the calmness of its looks,but when it had induced them to plow its waters,it grew rough and destroyed them.
The Sea,assuming the form of a woman,replied to him:"Blame not me,my good sir,but the winds,for I am by my own nature as calm and firm even as this earth; but the winds suddenly falling on me create these waves,and lash me into fury."
299.The Mules and the Robbers
TWO MULES well-laden with packs were trudging along.
One carried panniers filled with money,the other sacks weighted with grain.The Mule carrying the treasure walked with head erect,as if conscious of the value of his burden,and tossed up and down the clear-toned bells fastened to his neck.His companion followed with quiet and easy step.
All of a sudden Robbers rushed upon them from their hiding-places,and in the scuffle with their owners,wounded with a sword the Mule carrying the treasure,which they greedily seized while taking no notice of the grain.
The Mule which had been robbed and wounded bewailed his misfortunes.The other replied,"I am indeed glad that I was thought so little of,for I have lost nothing,nor am I hurt with any wound."
300.The Viper and the File
A LION,entering the workshop of a smith,sought from the tools the means of satisfying his hunger.He more particularly addressed himself to a File,and asked of him the favor of a meal.The File replied,"You must indeed be a simple-minded fellow if you expect to get anything from me,who am accustomed to take from everyone,and never to give anything in return."
304.The Ass and the Charger
AN ASS congratulated a Horse on being so ungrudgingly and carefully provided for,while he himself had scarcely enough to eat and not even that without hard work.But when war broke out,a heavily armed soldier mounted the Horse,and riding him to the charge,rushed into the very midst of the enemy.
The Horse was wounded and fell dead on the battlefield.Then the Ass,seeing all these things,changed his mind,and commiserated the Horse.
305.The Eagle and His Captor
AN EAGLE was once captured by a man,who immediately clipped his wings and put him into his poultry-yard with the other birds,at which treatment the Eagle was weighed down with grief.Later,another neighbor purchased him and allowed his feathers to grow again.The Eagle took flight,and pouncing upon a hare,brought it at once as an offering to his benefactor.
A Fox,seeing this,exclaimed,"Do not cultivate the favor of this man,but of your former owner,lest he should again hunt for you and deprive you a second time of your wings."
306.The Bald Man and the Fly
A FLY bit the bare head of a Bald Man who,endeavoring to destroy it,gave himself a heavy slap.Escaping,the Fly said mockingly,"You who have wished to revenge,even with death,the Prick of a tiny insect,see what you have done to yourself to add insult to injury?'
The Bald Man replied,"I can easily make peace with myself,because I know there was no intention to hurt.But you,an ill-favored and contemptible insect who delights in sucking human blood,I wish that I could have killed you even if I had incurred a heavier penalty."
307.The Olive-Tree and the Fig-Tree
THE OLIVE-TREE ridiculed the Fig-Tree because,while she was green all the year round,the Fig-Tree changed its leaves with the seasons.
A shower of snow fell upon them,and,finding the Olive full of foliage,it settled upon its branches and broke them down with its weight,at once despoiling it of its beauty and killing the tree.But finding the Fig-Tree denuded of leaves,the snow fell through to the ground,and did not injure it at all.
308.The Eagle and the Kite
AN EAGLE,overwhelmed with sorrow,sat upon the branches of a tree in company with a Kite."Why," said the Kite,"do I see you with such a rueful look?' "I seek," she replied,"a mate suitable for me,and am not able to find one." "Take me," returned the Kite,"I am much stronger than you are." "Why,are you able to secure the means of living by your plunder?' "Well,I have often caught and carried away an ostrich in my talons." The Eagle,persuaded by these words,accepted him as her mate.
Shortly after the nuptials,the Eagle said,"Fly off and bring me back the ostrich you promised me." The Kite,soaring aloft into the air,brought back the shabbiest possible mouse,stinking from the length of time it had lain about the fields."Is this," said the Eagle,"the faithful fulfillment of your promise to me?' The Kite replied,"That I might attain your royal hand,there is nothing that I would not have promised,however much I knew that I must fail in the performance."
309.The Ass and His Driver
AN ASS,being driven along a high road,suddenly started off and bolted to the brink of a deep precipice.While he was in the act of throwing himself over,his owner seized him by the tail,endeavoring to pull him back.When the Ass persisted in his effort,the man let him go and said,"Conquer,but conquer to your cost."
310.The Thrush and the Fowler
A THRUSH was feeding on a myrtle-tree and did not move from it because its berries were so delicious.A Fowler observed her staying so long in one spot,and having well bird-limed his reeds,caught her.The Thrush,being at the point of death,exclaimed,"O foolish creature that I am!For the sake of a little pleasant food I have deprived myself of my life."
311.The Rose and the Amaranth
AN AMARANTH planted in a garden near a Rose-Tree,thus addressed it:"What a lovely flower is the Rose,a favorite alike with Gods and with men.I envy you your beauty and your perfume."
The Rose replied,"I indeed,dear Amaranth,flourish but for a brief season!If no cruel hand pluck me from my stem,yet I must perish by an early doom.But thou art immortal and dost never fade,but bloomest for ever in renewed youth."
312.The Frogs' Complaint Against the Sun
ONCE UPON A TIME,when the Sun announced his intention to take a wife,the Frogs lifted up their voices in clamor to the sky.
Jupiter,disturbed by the noise of their croaking,inquired the cause of their complaint.
One of them said,"The Sun,now while he is single,parches up the marsh,and compels us to die miserably in our arid homes.What will be our future condition if he should beget other suns?'
