Fable 25: The Dove and Its Chicks

A dove that was being chased by hawks and crows finally managed to escape and returned to its nest to sit on its eggs.

Some men said, “Those are hawks’ eggs.”

Others said, “They are crows’.”

One man said,“As long as they are eggs, we will not know if they are hawks’ or crows’ .Wait until they hatch, and then we will know whose they are.”

-- Agadot Bereshit 37:5 (Buber Ed., p. 75)
