Read the following poems carefully and answer the questions that follow:

That's What She Said (Or He)

I wish you. Friend,

The finest thing

That I can wish for you -

Not health, nor wealth,

Nor luck, but just

A spirit of bamboo.

Bend with the wind

And thus survive,

Though storms may flatten you.

Weep not at fate,

But spring erect

As bamboo thickets do.

Though knives of hate

May cut away

Your hopes of dreams come true,

From roots of faith

Put out your shoots

And grow your dreams anew.

Wealth may be lost,

And health may fade,

Yet you'll be wise and true

If you can bend

And you can grow

With spirit of bamboo!

- Helene Grouse
