Rose and Snow

Rose and Snow

Little
Rose was asked by God where she would like to bloom when sent to Earth.
She could choose from beautiful Garden, the side of the refreshing
Stream and cold Snow. Rose wanted to know from God why Snow was so cold
when Garden and Stream were friendly and spontaneous.

God
told her that Snow was in the form of life-giving water and the
friendliest one, a long time back. However, constant hurts and
betrayals had made him wary of friendship and love and he had become
cold, oh, so very cold!

Rose,
full of colour, decided. She chose to bloom in Snow believing that her
warmth and colour would melt him one day. God warned her gently that
she would, till then, have to bear the chill of Snow. Rose said she had
already made up her mind.

God was happy and blessed both Rose and Snow.
