It
was the coldest winter ever. Many
animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation,
decided to group together to keep warm.
This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each
one wounded their closest companions.
After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other
and they began to die, alone and frozen.
So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their
companions or disappear from the Earth.
Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds
caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the
warmth that came from the others. This
way they were able to survive.
Moral
of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect
people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of
others and can admire the other person’s good qualities.
