A walnut tree grew by the roadside and bore a plentiful crop of nuts every year. Everyone who passed by pelted its branches with sticks and stones to knock down the fruit, and the tree suffered severely.
"It is hard," the tree cried, "that everyone who enjoys my fruit should thus reward me with insults and blows."
一棵核桃树生长在路边，每年都结出丰硕的果实。每个路过的人都会用棍棒和石头投掷它的枝条，以打下果实，这让这棵树备受折磨。
"这真让人难受，" 树哭诉道，"每个享用我果实的人，竟然用侮辱和击打来回报我。"
