The
Rivers and the Sea
The Rivers joined together to complain to
the Sea, saying, "Why is it that when we flow into your tides so potable
and sweet, you work in us such a change, and make us salty and unfit to
drink?"
The Sea, perceiving that they intended to
throw the blame on him, said, "Pray cease to flow into me, and then you
will not be made briny."
Moral: Don't blame others for a situation caused by you.
