The life of eggplant and long bean plants

Once upon a time, a bird accidentally dropped two seeds in a garden, the two seeds of the eggplant and the long bean fell close together. Because of the moist and fertile soil conditions, the two seeds of the plants grew into two plants. The owner of the garden who saw the two plants then took care of them, he dug the soil around the two plants and then gave fertilizer around them. Day by day, the small plants grew bigger, the eggplant tree began to produce small branches, while the long bean tree began to stretch its trunk. The farmer who owned the garden saw the long bean tree that was starting to grow, then looked for a piece of wood as a trellis or a place for the long bean tree to spread.

Initially, the two plants were close friends, every morning they greeted each other and asked how each other were. but later on the attitude of the long bean tree began to look arrogant, when its trunk began to tower high following the tree trunk that was its anchor,

"Hey eggplant, don't you see my body, now towering higher, while your body remains stunted like that" said the long bean arrogantly, the eggplant was not surprised to see his friend who suddenly changed his attitude like that,

"Let my body be stunted and not grow as tall as you, the important thing is that I can provide benefits to humans and other creatures" replied the eggplant tree calmly.

"Ah you eggplant, just say you can't compete with me, look at my top, it almost reaches the sky" replied the long bean tree still in an arrogant tone

The eggplant did not want to continue the debate, because he realized, his trunk could not possibly grow as tall as the long bean tree. Actually he wanted to say that the long bean tree could grow so tall because it was supported by the supporting tree, but he decided not to because he wanted to maintain his friend's feelings.

Because both plants were well maintained and had enough food from the fertilizer given by the garden owner, both began to flower. The long bean tree began to be decorated with white flowers shaped like butterflies, while the eggplant tree also began to flower purplish white and shaped like small trumpets.

"Hey dwarf eggplant, look at my flowers, beautiful like butterflies, neatly lined up following my height, but look at your flowers, small and unattractive" said the long bean tree again boasting, the eggplant tree only lowered its head hearing the chatter of its arrogant friend, but then he answered slowly,

"My friend, God has destined us to grow differently, but God is also very fair, he grows flowers on your body, also grows flowers on my branches"
