Then the gardener's voice became serious and he said, "In order to use you, I've got to split you in half." Then the bamboo reacted, "Split me" Oh, no ... I'm the nicest bamboo in this garden. Use me in any way you wish, but please don't split me in half." "Well, said the gardener, "If I can't split you, I can't use you." The bamboo went silent. Then it bowed its head and said, " "Okay, if the only way you can use me, is by splitting me,go ahead." "But that's not all," said the gardener. "I am going to have cut off your all your branches." "That will be the end of my beauty," the bamboo said. "But - if that's the only way I can be of use - cut me down altogether."
