The Oak and the Reeds
The Oak and the ReedsA VERY LARGE OAK was uprooted by the wind and thrown across a
stream.It fell among some Reeds, which it thus addressed:"I
wonder how you, who are so light and weak, are not entirely
crushed by these strong winds."They replied, "You fight and
contend with the wind, and consequently you are destroyed; while
we on the contrary bend before the least breath of air, and
therefore remain unbroken, and escape."
Stoop to conquer.
