2. Rainbow It colours the entire sky. We should also spread joy and happiness all around us.
3. Caterpillar It turns into a butterfly We should also transform and try to be better versions of ourselves.
4. Hibiscus plant It lives its short life to the fullest We too should learn to live our life with splendour, irrespective of how short it is
5. Flowing water It changes the shape of the rock. If we persevere, we can overcome our problems, no matter how colossal they appear to be.
6. Small bits of grass They manage to grow through the cracks in the concrete. No matter how tough a situation may seem, there is always a way out.
7. Bare tree It stayed strong in the cold winter months and its conviction was rewarded with green leaves, flowers and fruits during spring. We should not lose hope in trying times as they won’t last forever.
8. Ants They have excellent teamwork and perseverance. We too should be consistent, organised and focussed.
