Once upon a
time, there grew in a forest a large camachile
tree along with many other trees with beautiful flowers that attracted
travelers. Though its crown was beautifully shaped, for its leaves received
enough sunlight, it had no flowers that could compete with the rest. One day…
Camachile: Oh,
what a dreary life I have! I wish I had flowers like the rest
so I
would be appreciated and visited.
Passion: (Seizing the opportunity to
improve its lot) Why is your
life
dreary?
Camachile: Oh,
Passion! Just imagine that you were as unappreciated as I
am!!! People don’t notice me for I do not
have flowers.
Passion: Oh, that’s easy! Just let me climb on you and I’ll display on you
crown my beautiful flowers so many will come
and see you.
Camachile consented and let
Passion climb up. After a few days, Passion reached the top and soon covered
the crown. After a few months, Camachile realized something.
Camachile: Oh
Passion. What pain I am in! I can’t get sunlight. Your
beauty
is of no value. I am being smothered so
leave me.
I beg of you.
Passion, however, would not leave
and eventually, Camachile died.
