A 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."
