Once a fish proclaimed, “I am special indeed,
For I can swim in the vast and deep sea!”
The tree then chimed in, “I am unique too,
As I bear fruits in every season, fresh and true.”
But the monkey replied with wit so sly,
“If I can’t jump and climb, your fruits would die!”
As they bantered, a human nearby,
Was listening intently with a sigh.
Comparing himself, he felt so small,
Feeling the pressure to have it all.
But the fish, tree, and monkey in a trio,
Laughed and said, “Dear human, don’t be so slow.
“You are the one like no other,
Your worth cannot be measured or weighed on a scale.
Remember to count your blessings and take cover,
For happiness is found in being content and hale.”
The human realized this fable was true,
And the laughter of the three rang clear like a clue.
From that day forth, he embraced his worth,
And never again felt inferior or hurt.
