"The Proud Rose" is a story about a beautiful rose who was extremely proud of her appearance and constantly insulted an "ugly" cactus growing next to her. When a drought hit, the rose began to wilt. She then saw a bird drinking water from the cactus and, despite her shame, asked the cactus for help. The kind cactus readily provided water, saving the rose's life, and they became friends.
The moral of the story is to never judge anyone by their appearance, as true beauty lies in one's actions and character. The story is often attributed to Jolanda Colombini (writer) and Mariapia (illustrator).
