Illustration zur Fabel von Jean de La Fontaine, Dezember 2024

Der Frosch, der groß sein will wie ein Ochse

Ein Frosch sah einen Ochsen gehen.
Wie stattlich war der anzusehen!
Er, der nicht größer als ein Ei, war neidisch drauf,
Er spreizt sich, bläht mit Macht sich auf,
Um gleich zu sein dem großen Tier,
Und rief: »Ihr Brüder achtet und vergleicht!
Wie, bin ich nun so weit? Ach, sagt es mir!« –
»Nein!« – »Aber jetzt?« – »Was denkst du dir!« –
»Und jetzt?« – »Noch lange nicht erreicht!« –
Das Fröschlein hat sich furchtbar aufgeblasen,
Es platzte und verschied im grünen Rasen.

Die Welt bevölkern viele solcher dummen Leute:
Jedweder Bürger möchte baun wie große Herrn,
Der kleine Fürst – er hält Gesandte heute,
Das kleinste Gräflein prunkt mit Pagen gern.


The Frog Who Wished to Be as Big as the Ox

Transleted by Elizur Wright (1804 - 1885)

The tenant of a bog,
An envious little frog,
Not bigger than an egg,
A stately bullock spies,
And, smitten with his size,
Attempts to be as big.
With earnestness and pains,
She stretches, swells, and strains,
And says, 'Sis Frog, look here! see me!
Is this enough?' 'No, no.'
'Well, then, is this?' 'Poh! poh!
Enough! you don't begin to be.'
And thus the reptile sits,
Enlarging till she splits.
The world is full of folks
Of just such wisdom;--
The lordly dome provokes
The cit to build his dome;
And, really, there is no telling
How much great men set little ones a swelling.

As #summer is coming to and we're heading towards #autumn, the #garden is bearing some #fruit which add #colour to the surroundings.

This #squash is about 25 cm long and has turned a very nice #orange #hue.

These #green #grapes are nearly ripe and the #Vine #Leaves are also used in #cooking.

These #blackberries are at various stages of ripeness.

Here are some #cattle resting in the garden. Just kidding! That's from my recent trip to #Dartmoor and have nothing to do with me except that I photographed them.

Raw milk from farm with no electricity sparks outbreak that nearly killed baby | Ars Technica

Such outbreaks with raw milk are relatively common. While outbreaks with pasteurized milk occasionally occur, the risk of an outbreak is about 150 times higher with raw milk than with pasteurized milk, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. And the hospitalization rate is 13 times higher in outbreaks linked to raw milk than in pasteurized milk, which tends to involve mild viruses or toxins.

There is a reason pasteurization was invented and saved the life of thousands of people worldwide! And these people are going back to the "good old times"
