  1. A Vine was luxuriant in the time of vintage with leaves and grapes. A Goat,
  2. passing by, nibbled its young tendrils and its leaves. The Vine addressed
  3. him and said: “Why do you thus injure me without a cause, and crop my
  4. leaves? Is there no young grass left? But I shall not have to wait long for
  5. my just revenge; for if you now should crop my leaves, and cut me down to
  6. my root, I shall provide the wine to pour over you when you are led as a
  7. victim to the sacrifice.
