The source comes from the people. “…As Toumanian used to say – we can read in the memoirs of the poet’s daughter, – his uncle Isai told him “The Eagle and the Oak”, “The Unlucky Merchants”, “The Dog and the Cat”, on the way back from the mountain”.
IT happened that at one time in a forest
The Eagle and The Oak argued with each other
As to which of them would live the longer
The Eagle said he was, and the Oak said he was.
