The allusion to "Wild Reed" comes from La Fontaine's fable "The Oak and the Reed":
The oak said to the reed, "Nature treats you too thinly, you cannot bear the weight of a bird, and the breeze makes you bow your head; On the top of the Caucasus, despise the sun and the wind; your whirlwind is like a breeze to me. If you let me shelter you, I can save you from disaster, but you are still born on the edge of the country of storms, and it is not fair to you of course.
The reed replied: Your mercy is kind, but it is not necessary. I am afraid of the storm, and I can bend to avoid it; you are born strong, and you do not need to bend your back, but let us wait and watch.
As soon as the words fell, a gale came from the northern horizon. With heavy rain, thunder and lightning, the oak tree straightened up, the reeds fell in response to the wind, the wind became stronger, the towering oak tree was uprooted, and the oak tree on the ground was washed into the underworld.View more about Wild Reeds reviews
