The seed is upset. It feels that it is trivial. It feels that it is too inconsequential to be existing. The seed is lying on a gargantuan rock. The rock is mighty, robust and supercilious. The contemptuous rock makes fun of the tiny seed. Many days pass like this. One day the seed decides to be strong. It promises itself that it will no longer be vulnerable to what the rock has to say. From that day onwards whenever the rock ridiculed the seed, the seed smiled at the rock and said, " Thank you." The rock was left flummoxed however it maintained its impertinent conduct towards the seed.
Many months passed. The seasons changed. With the unfolding of the rainy season, a huge storm hit the land. The rain poured down belligerently and it injured the rock by creating a small crack on its outermost surface. The seed was trapped in the crack. The rock was exhilarated. It forgot it's own torment and rejoiced in the agony of the hapless seed. Finally the rains retreated. The incandescent Sun came out of it's secret cavern at last. The fragrance of summer diffused in the atmosphere. The seed, which had strongly faced the repugnant and inclement weather, was relieved by the freshness of the sunshine. One fine day, the seed developed a small green root. The seed thought that it was some deformity that had developed in it but the seed still remained intrepid. The root started growing rapidly and it started penetrating into the rock. The rock howled with pain. After a few days a shoot came out of the seed. Finally the seed realized what was happening. It was elated. It was going to turn into a plant. Days passed. The seed was now a young Neem plant. The roots of the plant had widened the crack in the rock. The rock no longer made fun of the seed for now it was not a puny thing.
Days gave way to months and months gave way to years.At the spot where the herculean rock used to live, now stands a tall tree. It is actually the seed that has transformed into a colossal, shady and medicinal tree. The rock is reduced to mere chunks and pebbles. The inconsequential seed has won. The mighty rock has lost.
