A stone and a flower

Once a gardener planted a lot of flowering plants in the garden. After some time, beautiful and fragrant flowers started blooming in all the plants.  This beautified the garden.

One day the gardener brought another type of plant. He had heard that the flower of that plant is very beautiful and adorable.The gardener used to water the plant lovingly and look after it. After some time, beautiful flowers actually started growing on that plant. The gardener was very happy to see this flower.The flower was beautiful but she was very proud of herself. The flower felt that there is no other beautiful flower like her.

A stone piece was lying on the ground near that flower plant.  Seeing that stone stumbling from the passerby, the flower blossomed and laughed and said, 'Look!  I am so beautiful  People are very happy to see my beauty and whatever comes to you, they stumble and go away.

Hearing this, the piece of stone remained calm.  Incidentally a sculptor was passing by that stone one day. The sculptor suddenly noticed the stone piece and the sculptor was attracted towards that stone piece. He took that stone piece with him and made a statue of Lord Krishna and installed it in the temple.

One day plucking the same flower and offered the same Krishna idol with worship.Then the statue said, "You were laughing at me one day, today you are lying at my feet."  On hearing this, the head of the flower bowed with shame.

It means to say that one should never insult someone by considering them inferior or small, because time is variable. Today, the one who is on the floor, tomorrow can reach a big stage with hard work and effort.
