Once upon a time, a big oak tree grew near a river. • Some reeds also grew near the river.
One day, a strong wind came and pushed the tree over. It fell into the river.
The river carried the tree along on the way to the sea. • The tree floated past the reeds.
“I don’t believe it” the tree said. • “The reeds are still standing after the storm”
“Why are you still standing?” he asked one of the reeds . • “The storm was too strong for me and I am much stronger than you!”
“That’s the problem” answered the reed . “You are very strong. You always fight against the wind .
We know that we are weak , so we bend our heads and let the storm blow over us.
We don’t try to fight against it, so here we are –still standing!!!
