THE OLIVE-TREE ridiculed¹ 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 foliage², it settled upon its branches and broke
them down with its weight, at once despoiling³ it of its beauty
and killing⁴ the tree.  But finding the Fig-Tree denuded⁵ of
leaves, the snow fell through to the ground, and did not injure
it at all.
