Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains
And though she be but little, she is fierce
A girl is like a young tree, she said. You must stand tall and listen to
your mother standing next to you. That is the only way to grow strong
and straight. But if you bend to listen to other people, you will grow
crooked and weak. You will fall to the ground with the first strong
wind. And then you will be like a weed, growing wild in any direction,
running along the ground until someone pulls you out and throws you
away. ”
