Cabbage and flower plants were friends, living in kitchen garden.
One day few caterpillars crawled on cabbage and started eating away all leaves.
Flower plant said “ohh dear friend cabbage! How could you bear the pricking of caterpillars and eating away your entire leaves making holes on you and tearing away?
Cabbage said “let them eat. That is their nature. Loosing few leaves doesn’t make much difference to me”
“You are great I could not have bare them so easily.” Said flower plant.
Hearing this, sadden caterpillar with full of its stomach crawled down the cabbage and went into hibernation.
Flower plant felt bad for talking harshly.
After few days many flowers bloomed on plant and a beautiful butterfly started flying and playing with flowers on the plant.
Cabbage said “the friend of your today could be one of those caterpillars.”
Hearing this flower plant said “ohh you are great really. Your patience of yesterday has become source of my joy of today.”
Moral
Having patience for others faults can give them chance to grow and transform to better persons.
