Use the following passage to answer this question: I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy for winning
arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it at the time, chess
games.
"Bite back your tongue," scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the
store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, "Wise guy, he not go against wind. In
Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind-poom!-North will follow. Strongest wind cannot
be seen."
The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies. When
my mother finished her shopping, she quietly plucked a small bag of plums from the rack and put it
on the counter with the rest of the itfms.
