Popotnika in platana
(S. 170. C. 251 et p. 387. F. 129.) Two travelers, worn out by the heat around noon in summer, caught sight of a plane tree. They went beneath it and lay down to rest in its shade. Looking up at the tree, they remarked to one another how useless and fruitless it was to humankind. But the tree answered, “You ungrateful men! Even as you enjoy the benefit I give you, do you call me useless and fruitless?” So too, some people are so unfortunate that even when they do good to their neighbors, their kindness is met with distrust.

(S. 170. C. 251 et p. 387. F. 129.)
Ὁδοιπόροι δύο θέρους ὥρᾳ περὶ μεσημβρίαν ὑπὸ καύματος τρυχόμενοι, ὡς ἐθεάσαντο πλάτανον, ὑπὸ ταύτην καταντήσαντες καὶ ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ κατακλιθέντες ἀνεπαύοντο. Ἀναβλέψαντες δὲ εἰς τὴν πλάτανον ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους, ὡς ἀνωφελὲς καὶ ἄκαρπον τοῦτο ἀνθρώποις ἐστὶ τὸ δένδρον. δὲ ὑποτυχοῦσα ἔφη· ,, ὦ ἀχάριστοι, ἔτι τῆς ἐξ ἐμοῦ εὐεργεσίας ἀπολαύοντες ἀχρείαν με καὶ ἂκαρπον ἀποκαλεῖτε;“
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τινὲς οὕτω ἀτυχεῖς εἰσιν, ὡς καὶ εὐεργετοῦντες τοὺς πέλας ἐπὶ τῇ χρηστότητι ἀπιστεῖσθαι.
