There was a huge building; in it were many floors, rooms, and countless people being its inhabitants. In one of the parts of the building was a long narrow hallway that seemed to lead to nowhere. The hallway was air conditioned. There were huge vases of plants along the hallway for its own purposes such as to liven up the environment with greeneries and the atmosphere with the oxygen it provided or other more complicated purposes whichever way you’d like to look at it.
There were various types of plants and seeing that one of its purposes was for decoration, almost all of the plants were lively and healthy. For the exception of two, those were distinct and therefore different from the rest. One for it aesthetic-ness, it was the plant placed in a room. The room’s windows were covered with thick expensive curtains, had just the right amount of sunlight and heat it needed. It was just the sort of warmth that was perfect for the plant. And yes, it blossomed beautifully. Even the vase was artistically renowned.
The second one was situated right at the end of the hallway. The edge of the hallway which is normally ended with a wall was covered by a thick transparent glass that enables one to look out at the garden. Despite the hallway with its air flowing devices which worked to cool of the place. The sun was directly exposed to the plant. So unlike its fellow plants, it always looked pale, yellow, and almost dried up. Therefore needed more frequent watering compared to the rest.
Most of the plants were of the creeper type as this one was. The upper layer of the plant which crawled over the pole standing from the vase had dried up by the heat, and the lack of water. The leaves weren’t attractive neither very inspiring to look at. However At the bottom part of the plant there were new leaves that appeared to be growing, but instead of growing from the sun, it still grew towards the suns rays. following the rules of nature.
Days went by and everything went on routinely with the other plants and the one in the room except for the one that was placed at the end of the hallway. Its condition got worse and it looked as if it was just days away from getting all dried up.
There was only one person who watered the plants. It wasn’t his duty so he only watered it when he had the time and felt like it hence rarely. He noticed the plant’s condition and realized that he wouldn’t water it more frequently; he decided to shift the plant to a much better place. And judging by the plant in the room which is doing really good and it looked like the perfect outcome that a plant can as for. He moved the dying one into the room.
After a week or so, the once dried up plant as expected got better and started to blossom into a prettier, aesthetically beautiful plant.
However the plant next to it died for reasons unknown. The man who shifted the plant thought that it might’ve died due to its incapability in adapting to even the slightest of change or hindrance. Meanwhile in the hallway the other plants were still looking as lively as they used to but if you looked closer. There were funguses and bacterial infections on its stems and leaves. They only look good from a distance.
