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. |
