The Rock That Was a Bully

There once was a rock that lay by a pond. A beautiful red flower grew up next to it. One day a small boy and his sister walked by. The boy spotted the rock, picked it up and tried to show it to his sister, but she only had eyes for the flower. When the boy dropped his rock to look at the flower, the rock felt hurt, then angry and tumbled onto the flower, smashing it. The girl then became angry, grabbed the rock and threw it into the pond. The rock sank to the bottom where it stayed for a long time before learning that being a bully was not going to make him happy or get him what he wanted most.
