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.
