Three hundred Aesop’s fables, Aesop’s Fables, part 12, sentence 27
Hence it arises that Ills abound, for they come not one by one, but in troops, and by no means singly: while the Goods proceed from Jupiter, and are given, not alike to all, but singly, and separately; and one by one to those who are able to discern them.
Who acts: good, Ills, Goods · What happens: arise, not come, mean, proceed, give, be · To what, where: one, troops, Jupiter, Goods
