Once upon a time long ago
A daughter was in sorrow and pain,
She was fed up with living her life
Confronting problems again-n-again.

So her father decided to teach her
To enjoy and fight her life always,
He brought a potato, an egg, tea leaves
And water in three different trays.

He boiled these things separately
And explained what he planned,
"These all went from the same situation."
Taking a potato in his hand.

"This potato used to be hard
But softened when adversity came,
The egg was soft but became hard
By the situation exactly same."

"But these leaves changed the water
To make it tastier and better,
Not being affected by it much
Did you get it, my dear daughter?"

"Adversity will surely come to you
All you need to decide is how,
Do you want to react to it?
You must have got it until now."
