A king went to his garden and discovered that his trees, bushes and flowers were dying. The Oak told him that was dying because it could not be as tall as the pine.
Turning to the Pine, he found it fallen because it could not give grapes as the Vine. And the Vine was dying because it could not blossom as the Rose. The Rose cried because it could not be as tall and solid as the Oak. Then he found a plant, a Strawberry, blossoming and fresher than ever.
The king asked it, “How do you grow so healthy in the mist of this withered and sombre garden?”
“I do not know. Perhaps it is because I always supposed that when you planted me, you wanted strawberries. If you would have wanted an Oak or a Rose, you had planted them. At that time I said to myself — ‘I will try to be Strawberry the best way I can’.”
Now it is your turn. You are here to contribute with your fragrance. — Author Unknown
