Any tree, however deeply rooted and firmly fixed, may be uprooted in an hour, > yet it requires years for it to become fruitful and effective through the temperate nature of the air and the nurture of earth and water, > so that one may rest in its shade and derive benefit from its fruit. > And if the king acts hastily in this matter, he will be like that partridge who > killed his harmonious mate and affectionate consort without any guilt; and when the truth of the matter was investigated > and her innocence came to light, however much regret he felt over that rashness and haste, > it brought no gain or success, nor was the slain companion revived, > nor did the departed mate return." The king asked: "How was that story? Relate it!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 216.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.216.1) - [Next: 216.22](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.216.22) - [Up: 216](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.216) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama~en-mt.216.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.216.7](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.216.7) · Pramāṇa
