THE PROUD RED ROSE

Once upon a time, in a desert far away,

there was a rose who was so proud of her

beautiful looks. Her only complaint was

growing next to an ugly cactus.

Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all
while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the
rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.

One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for
the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing
their lush color.

Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow

dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water.

Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The
kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as
friends.
