（单词翻译:单击）

The Oak tree always thought that he was far stronger than the reeds. 
 
 
He said to himself “I stand upright in storm. I don’t bend my head in fear every time the wind blows. But these reeds are really so weak." 
 
 
That very night blew a storm and the mighty1 oak tree was uprooted2. 
 
 

“Thank god!" sighed the reeds, “Our way is better. We bend but we don’t break."
