Comparison with others

                             Comparison with others
It is a meeting arranged by the family of triangles. All the triangles are invited. Some triangles are very large in size. They have the sides of 100 cm. All the trianges including small angle triangle,right angle triangle,obtuse angle triangle are present.There was a very small triangle havig the side of size of 0.1 cm. It was a very nice opportunity to see all the triangles together.
The meeting started. It was the time of lunch. All the triangles went for lunch talking with each other. But there this triangle having the side of 0.1 cm. He was not seen together with any of his family. All the triangles went for lunch. But this one sat sadly in a corner.
No one looked at this fellow. No one cared for his unhappiness. He was sitting in a corner with sad face. At that time a circle was passing in the same way. Circle saw this small triangle sitting alone whereas all the other triangles are seen enjoying.
Circle came near this tiny triangle and asked him what is the matter? Tiny triangle told circle that no one is noticing his presence since he is small, all are talking to the large triangles but no one is paying attention to tiny triangle's presence.
Then circle smiled and replied "It is true that there are large triangles. But look inside of yours and theirs. The sum of internal angles of both you and large triangles are always 180 degrees. It will not change whether they have a large side or narrow side like you."
By hearing this, a smile came on face of tiny triangle. He knew what circle told was right. One must judge a person on his internal qualities not on his external appearance. Tiny triangle went to join his family members. He spent the remaining day happily.
