The Pomegranate, the Apple-tree and the Bramble | 石榴树、苹果树与荆棘

English Original

A pomegranate and an apple-tree were disputing about the quality of their fruits, and each claimed that its own was the better of the two. High words passed between them, and a violent quarrel was imminent, when a bramble impudently poked its head out of a neighboring hedge and said, "There, that's enough, my friends; don't let us quarrel."


中文翻译

一棵石榴树和一棵苹果树正在争论各自果实的品质,都声称自己的果实更好。它们之间言辞激烈,一场激烈的争吵一触即发。这时,一株荆棘从旁边的树篱中无礼地探出头来说道:“好了,够了,我的朋友们;我们别吵了。”
