A walnut tree, which grew by the roadside, bore every year a plentiful crop of nuts.

Everyone who passed by pelted its branches with sticks and stones in order to bring down the nuts, and the tree suffered severely.

"It is hard," it cried, "that the very persons. who enjoy my fruit should thus reward me with insults and blows."
