Aesop’s Fables : Last Boast
Let us enjoy reading this one of Aesop’s Fables of Last Boast .
A fir tree said boastingly to the bramble bush growing in its shade:
“You are useless. Nobody wants you. I am everywhere used for roofs and houses. Men can’t do without me.”
“You’re so right,” said the bramble. “Here’s a man coming to you with an axe, right now. Farewell.”
Moral: Pride comes before a fall.
