An Oak and a Willow ����������

---

There happened a controversy between an oak and a willow, upon the subject of strength, constancy, and patience, and which of the two should have the preference. The oak upbraided() the willow, that it was weak and wavering, and gave way to every blast. The willow made no other reply, than that the next tempest(��) should resolve that question. Some very little while after this dispute, it blew a violent storm. The willow plied, and gave way to the gust, and still recovered itself again, without receiving any damage, but the oak was stubborn, and chose rather to break than bend. ��ִ˭�ȶ��Ժϸ��ƣ���˭��Ӧ�õǵ�ƫָ˵ҡ�ڲ�һ��絹��ֻ˵�䱩���Լ��ߵ�ʤ�㲻�ٶ��ԡ� ���ãҡ�ڣָֻ���ԭû���ܵ��κˡǣ��ܾ�ǿԸ���۶�Ҳ��Ը��
