Don't underestimate
It is a park in the city. There were many trees and plants in the park. People would come to park for their morning walk. There was a rose plant in the park. There was a nice rose flower blossoming in the plant. People would always appreciate the flower for its beauty. Hence, rose plant was little proud about itself thinking that people are praising its beauty.
Nearby rose plant, there was a cactus plant. It was having more thorns than leaves in it. Rose plant always thought that cactus plant is useless. It should not be in park etc. One day it told its opinion to a bird which was flying on sky. Rose plant compained that cactus is full of thorns .It is unfit to be there on the park with other plants.
Hearing this, bird asked "Even you have thorns in you. In that case, even you must not be in the park". Then rose plant replied " Even though, I have thorns I will give nice flower also.But cactus is only having thorns. It is not of use to anyone".
Days passed. Summer season came. There was a water scarcity in city. It was difficult to water the plants in the park. Because of this, rose plant started to wither its leaves. Now it was afraid that it may die because of unavailability of water. But cactus plant was not at all worried. Because of less number of leaves, it could conserve the water.
All the plants came near cactus for water for their survival. Cactus would happily give the water. But rose plant though it was dying, it decided that it will not ask for water with cactus. Days passed. No sign of rain in the city.Every plant in the park advised rose plant to ask for water with cactus. Finally rose plant agreed. It begged for water with cactus. Cactus plant happily gave the water .
Then rose plant realised "Though, cactus is full of thorns it could spend the days without water. Eventhough people appreciate my beauty , I cant store water like cactus. I must not underestimate anyone because of their external features".
From that day onwards, cactus and rose plant became good friends.
