Once upon a time, there were three sisters. These were a trio of yellow
sunflowers. They bicker amongst themselves on a daily basis about who gets more soil, water, oxygen, nutrients and sun. In the transition to full maturity, the trio had a battle of wits among themselves.
Sister #1: “You two are blocking the sunshine. Could you please move a bit further away to give me space. It is too crowded in this flowerpot. I need more room and exposure to the sun to become a beautiful sunflower.”
Sister #2: “Well, I should say that also, because I am stuck between you two.”
Sister #3: ” Hey, why can’t we get along? Mother Nature told us to be kind. Why don’t we all stretch and sway our bodies a bit toward the sun each day? Then we all will get enough sunshine to become beautiful for all the world to see.
Lesson: Instead of complaining and bickering, find solutions together.
