C. 5).
This fable may, therefore, he considered as one of the oldest extant, as, indeed, the almost pure Hebrew, in which it is com- posed, would of itself testify.
The next is another fable which appears anonymously ; but its concise language and comparatively pure Hebrew point it also out as one of the oldest extant. It is as follows: G. The Kivers and the Euphrates.
All the other rivers said to the Euphrates: " Why do thy waters run so smoothly that thy voice is not heard at a distance, like... ours? "' The Euphrates replied: " My deeds speak for me;- any- thing sown at my shores will sprout in three days; every plant in my vicinity stands in full bloom after thirty days' planting. Yea, even the Bible speaks in my praise: 'the great river, the river Euphrates'" (Sifri Debarim, Piska 6).
The moral of this fable is apparent, and need not be expressly stated. Very likely, already during the first exile, when the Jews had occasion for the first time to observe the smooth cur- rent of the Euphrates, this fable was suggested.
