Edwin carries a stick into the water. What lesson does he teach Cole with it?

• The ends of the stick represent anger and happiness. To be happy, the focus has to shift from left to right, from anger to happiness.
• The left end represents bad traits. Breaking the stick makes it better and stronger because it is shorter, with less bad traits.
• The left end represents bad traits. Rather than break them, it is better to accept them, remain whole, and work around them.
• The stick represents anger. If you break the stick, anger is released. When you can no longer break the stick, you have conquered anger.
