The Reed And The Oak = Ang Tambo at ang Roble

The Reed and the Oak, retold by Boots S. Agbayani-Pastor, is a children’s retelling of a classic fable about a strong oak tree and a humble reed. When a powerful storm strikes, the rigid oak is uprooted, while the flexible reed bends with the wind and survives. The story teaches children that humility, adaptability, and flexibility are often greater strengths than pride and stubbornness.
