Объяснение
The tale describes a man who does not know the gardener’s craft: how to graft, when to sow and how to tend. His friends, seeing his fruitless labour, advise him to leave it and take up a useful trade. He does not give up, and while cutting a vine, a snake bites him and he dies. The tale is in verse: the thought of each stanza must first be read in poetic intonation and then put in prose. The moral: one who takes up a work he does not know and ignores the counsel of masters suffers harm.
Примеры
