Fable 33: The Wild Peas and the Stalks of Wheat

The wild peas said to the stalks of wheat, “We are more beautiful than you are, even though the dew falls and the sun shines on both of us.”

The stalks answered, “It is not what you say or what we say; when the winnower comes, he will save us and feed you to the birds.”

-- Agadot Bereshit 23.4 (Buber Ed., p. 48)
