A large, majestic tree stood at the edge of a forest, sheltering people from the sun with its shady leaves and providing shelter to birds and other creatures in its branches. It was constantly busy with activity. Below the tree grew a small, delicate plant that tended to bend over in the slightest breeze. The tree advised the plant to plant its feet deeply and stand up boldly like the tree, but the plant replied it felt safer bending with the wind.
