11 Teacher: Don’t be afraid to release your bread upon the waters,
        for in due time you will find it.
    Divide your portion—put seven here, maybe eight there—
        for you can never be sure when or where disaster will strike.

    When a tree falls—whether to the south or the north—
        it will stay where it lands.
