Irregular Hawthorn
In a quiet corner of the forest, there was a little plant called the Irregular Hawthorn. Unlike the other plants, its leaves were all different: some were long, some round, some smooth and some jagged - the other plants often laughed at it.
“Look at those leaves! they're so messy!” said the oaks and ferns. “You'll never be as elegant as we are.” Hawthorn felt sad, but deep down she knew there was something special about her.
One hot afternoon, a bolt of lightning struck the forest, starting a fire. Plants and animals panicked, running in all directions to escape. Smoke filled the air and all hope seemed lost. But then a surprising thing happened: the irregular Hawthorn began to give off a sweet, fresh scent. The animals smelled it and followed the aroma, which led them to a nearby river, far from the fire.
Thanks to Hawthorn, many lives were saved. When the fire was finally extinguished, the plants that had mocked Hawthorn now looked at her with admiration. “Thanks to you, the forest is alive,” said an old oak. Irregular Hawthorn no longer felt sad. She had learned that difference was not a flaw, but her greatest strength.
From that day on, Hawthorn continued to grow in the heart of the forest, reminding everyone that being unique can save the day.
