It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The
porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep
warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of
each one wounded their closest companions. After
a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and
they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice:
either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the
Earth. Wisely,
they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with
the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions
in
order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were
able to survive.
The best relationship is not the one that
brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live
with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good
qualities.
