Once upon a time, a rose was in a desert far away. She was very proud of her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was an ugly cactus growing next to her. The beautiful rose would insult the cactus everyday, mocking his looks, all while the cactus remained silent. All the other nearby plants tried to make sense of the rose, but she was too swayed by her own appearance. One scorching summer, the desert had become dry, and the plants had no water left. The rose was rapidly beginning to wilt. Her gorgeous petals dried up, losing their lively colour. She saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water as she looked at the cactus. The rose asked the cactus, though ashamed, whether she might have some water.The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both, as friends, through the tough summer.The rose learned her lesson and never judged anybody by appearance again.
Moral of the Story: Never judge someone by the way they look
从前,遥远的沙漠里有一朵玫瑰花。她对自己美丽的外表感到非常自豪。她唯一的抱怨是她旁边长着一棵丑陋的仙人掌。美丽的玫瑰每天都会侮辱仙人掌,嘲笑他的容貌,而仙人掌却一言不发。附近的所有其他植物都试图理解这朵玫瑰,但她太受自己外表的影响。一个炎热的夏天,沙漠变得干燥,植物都没有水分了。玫瑰很快就开始枯萎。她美丽的花瓣干枯了,失去了鲜艳的色彩。当她看着仙人掌时,她看到一只麻雀把嘴伸进仙人掌里喝水。玫瑰羞愧地问仙人掌要不要喝点水。善良的仙人掌爽快地答应了,帮助他们两个像朋友一样度过了艰难的夏天。玫瑰吸取了教训,再也没有以貌取人。
这个故事的寓意:永远不要通过外表来判断一个人
