Thinking about Poem
Can a “simple jab of the knife” kill a tree? Why not?

Solution
No, a simple jab of a knife cannot kill a tree because it takes many years for a tree to grow and rise out of the earth. Moreover, only a chop cannot kill it because it will slowly rise again and grow to its original size.
