Grass, Tree and Wind

Grasses don't stand against the wind
As their roots are shallow ,and stems are soft
They have to obey the wind
Falling to the side whichever It calls for

However, tall trees are different
Their roots are deeper, and stems are stronger
They would rather challenge
By their virtues of characters  
And by their habits of dealing with nature

In addition to that, their lives are also different
The grass usually has a  short life-span 
Withering and flourishing in a year
While trees can live longer for several years

Then we will understand their philosophy of life
Grasses have to obey the wind due to their weakness
While trees challenge it by their strength
