CACTUS STORY
A very good morning to the honourable judges, fellow contestants and audiences.My
name is Wan Sze Ying and I am going to tell you a story titled “Cactus Story”.

Once upon a time, there lived a group of flowers. They were

Tulip,Sunflower,Cactus,Cosmos, and Daisy.

One day, all the flowers bloomed beautifully but only that small cactus did not bloom
a flower. All the flowers were teasing the Cactus. The Sunflower said, “Hey, look!
Cactus does not have a flower. Haha! So ugly!”. The Cosmos said, “You don’t come
close to me. You make me ugly!” The Tulips said, “I’m so lucky that I’m not Cactus.”
The Daisy said, “Euu! So ugly!”

Soon, it was a rainy day. All plants were happily drinking water. But, Sunflower said,
“Hey, Cactus! You need not drink because you cannot bloom any flower.” The
Cosmos said, :Only pretty flowers can drink the water.” On hearing this, Tulip and
Daisy started to laugh. Poor Cactus kept quiet and felt sad. Cactus felt so sad that once
she tried to be part of them. She tried to put anything on her but she failed.

As the hot summer approached, the garden began to dry up. All the flowers were
suffering under the hot weather except the Cactus. Cactus asked to her fellow flowers.
“Hey, are you okay?” The Sunflower told her, “the weather is too hot, I’m thirsty!”
The cosmos said, “Help! The Sun is killing me!” The Tulip said, “Please water me or
else I’ll die! The Daisy cried, “I’m thirsty!”

But all the flowers were amazed at the Cactus. Finally, the Sunflower asked, “Cactus,
why don’t you feel thirsty?” “Because I have a long root that spread out just under the
ground in search of water. Without leaves, less water is lost through my body. So, I
can store a lot of water,” Cactus replied.
“If you don’t mind, I have water and I can help you all,” Cactus told the other flowers.
Cosmos, Daisy and Tulip said, “we are sorry, Cactus!” The Sunflower said, “I’m
sorry, Cactus! We treated you so bad and yet you are still willing to help us!” Cactus
replied, “No problem! I’m doing what I know is right!” Four of them apologized to
Cactus because they felt guilty of what they had done to Cactus.

After what had happened, all the flowers stopped teasing Cactus but are proud of her
for saving their lives. Suddenly, a fairy appeared in front of them. The fairy said, “I
have seen what you have done to the others and I’m touched by your actions. Now,
I’m helping you to grant you wish to come true.”.

As the fairy moved her magic wand, the Cactus had got a beautiful flower like the rest
of the plants. All of the lived happily together.

Now my dear fellow friends, what do you think is the moral value of the story?

Do not judge a book by its cover. It means that we must not underestimate anyone
based on their looks.

With that, I end my story.

Thank You.
