    THE OAK AND THE REEDS


    A Giant Oak stood near a brook in which grew some slender Reeds. When the wind
    blew, the great Oak stood proudly upright with its hundred arms uplifted to the sky. But the
    Reeds bowed low in the wind and sang a sad and mournful song.
    “You have reason to complain,” said the Oak. “The slightest breeze that ruffles the
    surface of the water makes you bow your heads, while I, the mighty Oak, stand upright and
    firm before the howling tempest.”
    “Do not worry about us,” replied the Reeds. “The winds do not harm us. We bow
    before them and so we do not break. You, in all your pride and strength, have so far resisted
    their blows. But the end is coming.”
    As the Reeds spoke a great hurricane rushed out of the north. The Oak stood proudly
    and fought against the storm, while the yielding Reeds bowed low. The wind redoubled in
    fury, and all at once the great tree fell, torn up by the roots, and lay among the pitying Reeds.
