The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
