One beautiful spring day a red rose came out in a forest. As it looked around, a pine tree nearby said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I was that lovely.” Another tree said, “Don’t be sad, we can’t have everything.”
The red rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌)and said, “What an ugly plant full of thorns (刺)!” The pine tree said, “Red rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is? You have thorns too.”
The proud red rose looked angrily at the pine and said, “You don’t know what beauty is. You can’t compare me to a cactus.”
Spring passed, and the weather became very warm. Life became difficult as no rain fell. The red rose was dying. One day the red rose saw birds suck water from the cactus. “Doesn’t it hurt when they bite into the cactus?” asked the red rose.
“Yes, but the cactus does not like to see any birds suffer”, replied the pine. “The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”
But the red rose felt too ashamed of its past words to ask.

A proud rose thinks that it’s superior to other plants in the forest because of its beauty. But it later learns that beauty is not the only thing when it sees the cactus helping thirsty birds.
This story teaches us that we should not judge people or things based only on their appearance. There are other characteristics such as kindness and intelligence that are even more important. Beauty is only a superficial attraction but it doesn’t show what is in a person’s heart.
When I was in primary school a boy was often teased by his classmates because of his poor clothes. They judged him only on the surface but I knew he was very kind and honest. He was excellent at maths and would often help me with my lessons after school. Although his family had little money he refused to take any money from my parents for his help because he said “I help you because you are my friend not because I want your money.” I was very touched by his words and was ashamed of what my classmates had done to him.
