Ajay and the chikoo farm

One day all the fruits and vegetables decided to have a separate meeting after an argument with each other.In the vegetables’ meeting, Rudy the bottle-gourd said, “No one likes us vegetables. The fruits take all the attention with how tasty they are.”Ed the Cabbage agreed, “Yes, you are right. Things must change.” The radish and cauliflower agreed and the vegetables decided to make changes.Meanwhile for the fruits, Chick the Chikoo and Ben the papaya lead their own meeting. They decided that the vegetables were getting more respect due to their nutritional values. They decided to confront the vegetables.They all met up at the kitchen counter and confessed their problems with each other. Cale the cauliflower said, “ You fruits are so colourful, tasty and sweet. Everyone loves you!”Ben the papaya argued, “No! Everyone likes you better because you are full of vitamins.”They continued arguing back and forth until a wise ant finally stepped in and said, “Stop fighting guys! You are all equally important and yummy. The world would not survive without either of you.”After much convincing, the fruits and vegetables finally stopped fighting. The ant cunningly said, “The one you should be fighting is the snacks.”And the arguments began all over again. Moral:Everyone and everything has its own significance. There should not be any comparison between anyone and anything.
