Великан и карлик

The Giant And The Dwarf

A Dwarf one day met a Giant. ‘Let me come with you,’ said he.

‘Very well,’ said the Giant.

When they met robbers, the Giant beat them with his club; but the Dwarf got beaten. At last he began to cry; but the Giant said, ‘My little man, if you are not strong you must not go out to battle with a Giant.’

We must not set ourselves up as equal to people who are greater and wiser than we.
