Chapter 306 The Olive-Tree and the Fig-Tree(橄榄树和无花果树).jpg

THE OLIVE-TREE ridiculed the Fig-Tree because, while she was green all the year round, the Fig-Tree changed its leaves with the seasons. —
橄榄树嘲笑无论何时都是绿叶环绕的无花果树,因为无花果树的叶子会随着季节的变化而更换。 —

A shower of snow fell upon them, and, finding the Olive full of foliage, it settled upon its branches and broke them down with its weight, at once despoiling it of its beauty and killing the tree. —
一场雪花淋到它们身上,发现绿叶茂盛的橄榄树上落了一层雪花,把树枝压弯了,破坏了它的美丽,更导致这棵树的死亡。 —

But finding the Fig-Tree denuded of leaves, the snow fell through to the ground, and did not injure it at all.
但是雪花发现裸露无叶的无花果树,直接穿过树枝落到了地面,并没有对它造成任何伤害。
