<h2>THE ROSE AND THE AMARANTH</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and
the Amaranth said to her neighbour, "How I envy you your beauty and
your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favourite."
But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my
dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and
fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are
cut; for they are everlasting."</p>
