The beautiful garden was full of flowers .Flowers in full blossom were a pleasure for eye and soul. The sweet smell of those lovely flowers was a treat for the sense of smell. It was a beautiful day of mid of November . The sun was in a good mood ,he allowed the golden sun rays to spread everywhere. The charming season of winter with such pleasant weather was a delight for all.
A rose in full bloom opened it's eyes and looked around , " Ah! What a lovely morning!" She again looked around," No one is as beautiful as me ", she thought proudly. "Look at those flowers, there is no comparison. I am the prettiest of all!"
Suddenly her eyes caught a glance of a withered flower which was bending down towards the earth and was breathing it's last breath. " Ha ha! Look at you", the young rose said to the dying flower. " How old and ugly you are. You are worthless! Good for nothing! And look at me I'm full of life, beauty and freshness. You are ruining the beauty of this garden. This place is not for you. You should be thrown in a waste bin!" A weak smile appeared on the wrinkled face of that old dying flower. It was smiling at the innocence of that young rose.
Time doesn't stop for anyone. Two days passed, the young proud rose was in the same condition , it was bending down towards the earth and was breathing it's last breath. A rose in full bloom looked at it and said, " Look at you....................".
