The Proud Rose Printable

The proud rose would insult and mock the ugly cactus daily about his looks, despite others trying to make her see sense, until a scorching summer caused the rose to wilt while the cactus had water that even birds drank from, forcing the rose to humbly ask the cactus for water, which he provided, helping them become friends.

THE PROUD ROSE

Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a


rose who was so proud of her beautiful looks. Her only
complaint was that she was growing next to an ugly cactus.

Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock


the cactus about his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet.
All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense,
but she was too swayed by her own 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.
Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak
into the cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose
asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus
readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer as
friends.
