It was a summer day. There was a rose in a desert. She was proud of her beautiful looks and her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus. Every day, the rose mocked the cactus about his looks.
One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush color.
She saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water. The rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.
