A Vine was luxuriant in the time of vintage with leaves and grapes.
A Goat, passing by, nibbled its young tendrils and its leaves. The
Vine said: "Why do you thus injure me and crop my leaves? Is there
no young grass left? But I shall not have to wait long for my just
revenge; for if you now crop my leaves, and cut me down to my root,
I shall provide the wine to pour over you when you are led as a
victim to the sacrifice."
