The Man and the Wood
The
Man and the Wood
A man came into a Wood
one day with an axe in his hand and begged all the Trees to give him a small
branch which he wanted for a particular purpose. The trees were good-natured
and gave him one of their branches. What did the Man do but fix it into the axe
head, and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree. Then the Trees saw how
foolish they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves.
