Dedicated to my dear students:

"The most powerful and important attributes of growth, both in and out is being humble."

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a small but dense forest.

The trees whispered to one another and the flowers pollinated each other and all the plants enjoyed being together as a forest. 

One day, one of the beautiful days of spring, between a cactus and a sunflower, a glowing seed started to grow. This growing flower was a gorgeous rose with crimson petals!

Hello, my name is Rosy.

Your petals are so beautiful, Rosy.

I'm cactus! nice to meet you!

I wish I had petals like yours!

Thanks! but not everyone can be smart and beautiful and fragrant right? hahahaha 

Rosy's haughty response surprised everyone! She was such an arrogant flower even though she had just bloomed.

I am obviously the most beautiful flower here! Look at my shiny petals!

There are lots of beautiful plants here, Rosy! You are just one of them. 

What?! How dare you compare me with the prickly cactus! I am much more beautiful than he! 

Cactus was very upset about what he heard and he could not say anything. 

It's not nice what you said to cactus Rosy, and you have thorns too?!

Actually, it's not nice to compare a cactus with a beautiful rose like me, huh! What would you know about beauty? You don't even bloom!

Neither the cactus, nor the sunflower, or the trees could get used to Rosy's attitude because she was a flower that constantly praised herself!

Days passed and summer finally came. The sunflower was so happy with her bright yellow face, she followed the sun's rays all day long. Cactus on the other hand, drink the water he had stored throughout the winter and kept himself vigorous and healthy all summer long. 

Even some tiny birds visited the cactus to drink water. Other plants were not able to store water like cactus for this hot weather and Rosy began to wilt because of thirst.
