what is the moral of the fir tree and the bramble
The Fir and the Bramble There are several versions of the fable in Greek sources and a late Latin version recorded by Avianus. It concerns a fir tree that boasted to a bramble, 'You are useful for nothing at all; while I am everywhere used for roofs and houses.' Then the Bramble answered: 'You poor creature, if you would only call to mind the axes and saws which are about to hew you down, you would have reason to wish that you had grown up a Bramble, not a Fir-Tree.'[3] The moral of the story is that renown is accompanied by risks of which the humble are free.
Into the Woods (film) A baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) wish for a child but suffer under a curse laid upon the baker's family by a Witch (Meryl Streep) who found the baker's father robbing her garden when his mother was pregnant. Because the baker's father also stole some magic beans, the witch was punished with the curse of ugliness by her own mother. The witch offers to lift the curse but only if the baker and his wife obtain four critical items for her to make a potion: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, a strand of hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. The witch later tells the baker that she asked him to do this task for her because she is not allowed to touch any of the objects.
