The Oyster
There was once an oyster in the large vast ocean.
Along with all the other oysters in the world in this vast ocean,
this oyster had friends and family, lovers and enemies alike.
But many did not know about this oyster. No.
This oyster was different, different in a sad, helpless way.
As shiny and beautiful as it looked on the outside, this oyster had no
pearl.
How treacherous it is, having no pearl, especially to an oyster.
Looking around, the sad oyster saw every other oyster
showing off their glorious pearls inside.
All but this oyster, had its mouth closed because it knew.
It had shaken and wriggled itself and it felt nothing inside.
It was empty.
Many months and even years went by, and with each passing day
the oyster felt emptier and emptier.
One day, the oyster decided to open up to his friends and family and
loved ones,
in the hope that it could seek love and understanding from them.
And when it did, a grain of sand fell into the oyster.
It was only then that the oyster understood,
that to make a pearl, it had to first open up.

The end.
