The Plane Tree

"The Plane Tree" is a short fable by Aesop in which two weary travellers escape the midday heat beneath the broad shade of a plane tree — only to scorn it for bearing no fruit. When the tree itself speaks, its quiet rebuke cuts to the heart of the story: how easily people enjoy a blessing while dismissing its worth. In just a few lines, Aesop captures the gap between what we receive and what we choose to acknowledge.
