+a peasant had in his garden an apple-tree which bore no fruit but only served as a harbor for the sparrows and grasshoppers
+he resolved to cut it down and taking his axe in his hand made a bold stroke at its roots
+the grasshoppers and sparrows entreated him not to cut down the tree that sheltered them but to spare it and they would sing to him and lighten his labors
+he paid no attention to their request but gave the tree a second and a third blow with his axe
+when he reached the hollow of the tree he found a hive full of honey
+having tasted the honeycomb he threw down his axe and looking on the tree as sacred took great care of it
