One day King came to his garden and saw withering and dying trees, bushes and
flowers.
An oak said it dies because it can’t be as high as a pine.
A pine tree was falling down because it could not give grapes like a grapevine.
Meanwhile the grapevine was dying because it couldn’t blossom like a rose.
But soon the King found a single plant, pleasing heart, bloomy and fresh.
The king asked:
-All the trees and flowers here are withering, and you are flourishing, why?
– I think it comes naturally. You have planted me, because it was Your wish and
Your choice. If you would like to grow an oak, grapes or rose, you would plant
them. And I cannot be anything else than what I am. So I try to develop my best
qualities.
Look at yourself. You can be only yourself. It is impossible for you to
become someone else. You can enjoy life and blossom or you can wither if
you do not accept yourself.
