HOW MUCH PATIENCE IS NEEDED (Lithuanian folk tale)

Once upon a time there lived a man. This man had the profession of weaving baskets. Once there came a bear. - What are you doing? - He asked. - I am weaving a basket. Look, you're lazy, you can also weave. We would sell them,and earn lots of money. - But I don't know how to weave - said the bear. - Learn! I'll show you. The man weaved his basket, bear watched: - It's not hard at all! Maybe I can do. He went back into the woods, broke off branches, and took some of them to the man and sat down beside him. The moved his paws and tried to fold the branches. He pressed very strongly, and cracked and broke the twig. Threw that away, picked up another one. He also broke it. And so it went on for a long time, a whole stack is broken, one could not bend. - Oh, - said to the man - good for you, that you know how to, but I do not know. - No, here knowledge is not the most important, but also patience. Cautiously and easily you must flex - then you can succeed. If you do something in a hurry, you do not achieve anything good from it.
