Description: An Elm in a hurry, wanting to get out of the way, made every effort to persuade the Oak, who is the King of the forests, to have all the other trees around him cut down. The Oak sat deaf for some time; but at last, seeing himself more importunate than usual, he said to this Elm, when I have had them cut down, who will defend me against the winds, and against the storms; if you tell me more, I will begin with you.
