Once there lived a little girl named Shilla with her parents. She was only girl from her family. She was getting frustrated with life, so she asked her father what to do. Her father was a science teacher. He told her to bring an egg, two tea leaves, and a potato. He then boiled them in a pot. After 10 minutes, he asked his daughter to peel the egg, peel the potato, and strain the leaves.
Her father explained, “Each item was placed into the same circumstance, boiling water. See how each responded differently? The egg was soft but is now hard. The potato was hard but is now soft. And the tea leaves, they changed the water itself.”
The father then asked, “When adversity calls, we respond in the same manner as they have. Now, are you an egg, a potato, or tea leaves?”
Moral: Dealing with adversity.
