attr. Æsop, Three Hundred Aesop's Fables — The Travellers and the Plane-tree (1887)
“ Two Travellers, worn out by the heat of the summer's sun, laid themselves down at noon under the wide-spreading branches of a Plane-tree. As they rested under its shade, one of the Travellers said to the other, "What a singularly useless tree is the Plane! It bears no fruit, and is not of the least service to man." ”
