In a lush African savanna, Henry the hippo resided in a cool, muddy pond, while Ada the antelope roamed the sunlit plains. One day, Ada pranced up to the pond, envious of Henry’s smooth, glistening skin. "Oh, to be a hippo!" she sighed. "No heat, just blissful swimming!"
Henry chuckled, splashing water. "And you, Ada, can leap gracefully over the tall grass. Look how all creatures admire your speed!"
"But they envy your home, your friends," she lamented.
Together, they realized their gifts. Henry enjoyed the serenity of water while Ada reveled in the thrill of the chase.
"Let’s celebrate our differences," Henry said, grinning with muddy joy.
Ada nodded, her heart lightening. "You’re right; I adore my life."
From that day on, they appreciated their unique qualities, knowing that true happiness came from embracing who they were and what they had.
Moral: Embrace your gifts; happiness lies in acceptance.
