A Tale of Two Pencils
Once upon a time, there were two pencils who were intimate friends. Because they were never sharpened, they had the same height. However, one of them became sick and tired of the life of silence and passivity they were both leading. Thereupon, he drew toward a pencil sharpener and asked her to sharpen him. Afraid of pain, the second pencil fell back; he was determined to maintain his elegant outward appearance.
Now sharpened, the first pencil decided to spend some time away from home. He came back after a while "short" but wise. The tall pencil was astonished, and signs of mockery were even visible on his face as he noticed the shortness of his old friend.
The short pencil did not pay attention to the mockery of his tall friend. He began to write many words and draw many interesting shapes as he told his tall friend about his outdoor experience.
At this, tears of remorse dropped from the eyes of the tall pencil, and he suddenly hastened on to the sharpener to have one of his ends sharpened. He broke the barrier of silence, passivity, and fear only after he knew that whoever wants to learn should suffer first.
Moral: It is only through life experiences that one can advance and gain the wisdom one needs to put up with the hardships and vicissitudes of this life.
(Verily Allah does not change the condition of a people until they [first] change their own condition.) (Ar-Ra`d 13:11)
