16. THE OAK TREE AND THE SUGAR CANE
#Inspirational Moral Stories
One day, a proud oak
tree pretended to sympathise with the sugar cane. It
told the cane: ‘It’s
so sad that a gust of wind can make you bend your head,
while I can stand
tall and straight even in the most powerful gale!’
The cane shot back: ‘It’s
true that the wind can make me bow, but it cannot
break me.’
That night, a
terrible storm occurred. When it was over, the oak tree was seen
lying on the ground,
its’ roots up in the air. But the sugar cane slowly
straightened itself
up, to stand as firmly as before.
