THE OAK TREE AND THE REEDS
Once upon a time there was a giant oak tree which grew beside a river. One day a rainstorm broke out and uprooted it. While it was floating down a river, it noticed some reeds which were growing near the bank, and cried out to them, “My Goodness! How did it come that such small plants as you have managed withstand the rainstorm, while I haven't?"
"It was easy enough", answered the reeds. "Why did you stand stubbornly stiffly against storms as you did? Look at us, we bowed down to wind and storms when they broke out in order to let them pass. So we saved ourselves from their violence." "You had only yourself to blame," the reeds added.
(Adapted from Jean de LaFontaine's Fables)
