The Little Leaf

There was once a little leaf. The leaf's two best friends were a tulip and a lily. Both were extremely beautiful even if different in looks. The little leaf envied it's friends, everyone loved the two of them. They were always attracting different viewers who wanted to take pictures of them or sniff their glorious scents. No one ever gave the leaf a second glance. It was a plain leaf with nothing to visually offer anyone.
One day a person came along and picked the lily, taking it home and giving it a magnificent vase that matches the beauty of the flower, the person nurtured the flower everyday.
The leaf never saw the lily again.
It still had it's best-friend tulip., but it knew this would not last.
The leaf was right. Not to soon later another person came and picked the gorgeous tulip. And gave it a beautiful home with all the caring it could need.
The leaf was alone. No one would want a boring leaf.
One day many months later, A person came across the leaf, and the person just stared at it for what seemed like endless minutes. The person carefully picked the leaf and took it home. They framed the leaf in a simple glass frame and hung it in their room.
One day when the humans friends came over. The leaf recognized them as the two who had picked it's flower friends. The two friends asked the person why they had hung a dull leaf on the wall. they said:
"Don't you see it's beauty. The delicate edge to its points, the mix of vibrant greens that fade into a subtle moss green in the middle. I watched it dance in the wind,sucking up each gust the breeze gave. ".
The two friends shared a blank expression.
The person continued," Just because the leaf doesn't look like a flower doesn't make it any less beautiful."
