Two trees sat in the forest one cool summer day. The pine looked at the oak and said: "All these years we've grown together and I've always been envious of you. Every year, you sprout beautiful leaves and acorns, and in the fall your leaves embellish the forest with reds, yellows, and oranges and your acorns feed the squirrels and animals that nourish us. I feel so ugly standing next to you."
