寓言故事|The Oak and the Reeds

来源:www.fklsfc.com 2024-04-30
A VERY LARGE OAK was uprooted1 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.
