A SHEPHERD driving his Sheep to a wood, saw an oak of unusual

　　size full of acorns1, and spreading his cloak under the branches,

　　he climbed up into the tree and shook them down. The Sheep

　　eating the acorns inadvertently frayed2 and tore the cloak. When

　　the Shepherd came down and saw what was done, he said, "O you

　　most ungrateful creatures! You provide wool to make garments for

　　all other men, but you destroy the clothes of him who feeds you."
