Accidentally, a lily seed dropped in the wheat field. The seed sprouted, shot out the slender stems and leaves, grew the buds and bloomed the pure white flowers. Looking at the ordinary wheat around, the lily was proud," Look, you're all ordinary wheat seedlings and your value is to yield several shoots of wheat and become the food of mankind. As for me, I'm the noble lily, who is the symbol of purity, so you all can't compare with me..."
The lily was so pleased with itself while the wheat seedlings remained silent. At this moment, a farmer came by. He took no interest in flowers. He only had the crops in his eyes, so the beautiful lily was only a weed to him. He pulled out the lily right away and threw it off on the ridge of the field.
The lily was frapped by the scorching sun and gradually withered.
Do you believe you are excellent and the people around you are not as good as you? Perhaps you are a lily, but are you wrong to grow in the wheat field? The lily growing in the wheat field is a weed. You should consider in earnest where you should be.
