*// the question is the seed, the code is the tree*

*// from components, the forest grows*

```
const component = () => {
  // state is the river, flowing from source to mouth
  const [state, setState] = useState(initialState);

  // an effect is a whisper, echoing through time
  useEffect(() => {
    // async fetch, a promise kept
    fetchData().then(data => setState(data));
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      {/* render is the mirror, reflecting state */}
      {state}
    </div>
  );
};
```

*// remember: the tree is not the forest, yet the forest is incomplete without the tree*
