                Once upon a time there was a girl who was kind of different to others. Girls love to collect dolls, ribbons, toys etc. But she used to collect stones which had different shapes. As the stones are useless kids used to mock her of collecting dust. But she never gets angry with them because her mother thought her to never quarrel. Because it leads to things that will harm her and her friends too.

             One day she went to the forest to find stones. While she was roaming around to discover the stones, she heard the voices of animals and got scared. She started to run carelessly and fell. Her hands were bleeding and she was crying. A man came running toward her and said, " Oh little girl don't worry. Where are your parents? "

             The girl wiped her nose and said, " I came alone and I heard the voices of animals and got scared. I started to run and I fell."

             The man gave her water to drink and pull out some bandages from his bag. He asked her why she is here and where the parents are. She told him that she loves to collect stones and she came here without telling her parents.
        The man got up and said, " May I go or stay here?"
The girl got up and said, " It's on you sir, I'm alright so I'll collect my stones. "
The man said, " Ok let me help you with that. "

        They both started to collect stones. After one hour they sat down to rest. With surprise they found many stones with unique shapes. The girl was happy with the stone they found. They sat down and drank water. She asked the man why he was here. He said that he climbs mountains. And he was going to do it but he found her so decided to help her. The girl was more curious about something else and she asked, " But sir, don't you find my stones weird. That I collect things that can't be used."

           The man smiled and showed his legs that were not real. The girl was surprised. The man said, " When I lost my legs I was useless. But when I started to realize I can still be something then I became unique. In the same way the stones were useless until you picked them up and made them unique."

        The girl was shocked listening to the man. Because for the first time someone made her realize that what she is doing is unique.
