Once upon a time, a proud rose flower bloomed in a small village of Rajasthan.

Everyone used to praise it because of its red petals.

There was also a small cactus tree near it.

It had sharp thorns on its body. No one liked it. The rose often used to think after seeing it that it is completely useless here. It has thorns on its body, so no one would like it.

One day there was a drought there and all the ponds around started drying up, there was a shortage of water. The rose slowly started to wither.

But even after enjoying so much happiness, the cactus remained full. The rose slowly started to dry up. Then Rose saw that a bird was drinking water from the stem of the cactus. The rose was surprised to see this.

The cactus started feeling pity on seeing the condition of the rose. The rose started feeling very embarrassed. It asked for help from the cactus. The cactus ignored the rose's old behavior and gave water to the rose. In this way, the rose's life was saved. He apologized to cactus for his past behavior.

What do we learn from this short story?

We should not judge others by their looks. Because everyone has their own importance and specialty.
