One day, a brilliantly beautiful and fragrant flower with attractive colors
met a pearl that lives far in the bottom of the sea and has none of these
characteristics.Both got acquainted with each other.
The flower said: "Our family is large; roses and daisies are members of the
family. And there are many other species that are various and countless,
each has a distinctive scent, appearance .etc."Suddenly, a tinge of distress appeared on theflower.
"Nothing accounts for sorrow in your talk; so why are depressed?" The pearl
asked.
Human beings deal with us carelessly; they slight us. They don't grow us
for our sake but to get pleasure from our fragrance and beautiful
appearance. They throw us on the street or in the garbage can after we are
dispossessed of the most valuable properties; brilliance and fragrance" The
flower sighed.
And then the flower said to the pearl: "Speak to me about your life! How do
you live? How do you feel it? You are buried in the bottom of the sea. "
The pearl answered: "Although I have none of your distinctive colors and
sweet scents, humans think I am precious. They do the impossible to procure
me. They go on long journeys, dive deep in the seas searching for me. You
might be astounded to know that the further I lay, the more beautiful and
brilliant I become. That'swhat upraises my value in their thought. I live in a thick shell isolated in the dark seas. However, I'm happy and proud to be in a safe zone far from wanton and mischievous hands and still the humans consider me highly valuable"
Do you know what the flower and the pearl symbolize?
The flower is the unveiled woman (who shows her charms)
and the pearl is the veiled woman (who conceals her beauties)
