From Lonely to Loved: An Inspirational Story of a Triangle
Once upon a time in a village called 'Geometria' there lived a few geometrical shapes of math. Well, they were roaming around the whole village, playing with each other and living a happy life, but the story of the poor, lonely, sad triangle was a little different. He was not happy with his unique and strange appearance in the world.
One day he was with all the shapes, across the stream, through a beautiful green valley. Suddenly a thought troubled him again. In sadness, he left the dining table and sat under a tree.The tree asked very lovingly, "Triangle son! Why are you not happy?"
"I feel so alone in the world; my appearance seems so strange to me; there is no one here like me," said the triangle in a sad tone.
"I feel so alone in the world; my appearance seems so strange to me; there is no one here like me," said the triangle in a sad tone.
"But the Almighty has given everything a unique and particular shape, my son! Why do you think so badly of yourself?" When the green tree asked, the triangle burst into tears.
"Dear Tree Baba! The table I was eating at was rectangular. The chair I was sitting on was square. Just like my neighbour's blue and yellow twin square-shaped children!" He replied tearfully.
"And the bread that we were eating looked almost round. The wheels of the vehicle in which we came were also round like a circle!
The boiled eggs in the round basket were of a similar shape, i.e., oval.
And the ice cream we ate was shaped like a 'cone'.
Nobody resembles me in the universe. I feel lonely, baba!” The triangle told the complete story.

"No triangle, son! Just raise your eyes and look up! You are not alone in the world at all; I look just like you," said the tree, laughing.
"Really? Yes, indeed, Tree Baba! You are like me but a little different; your colour is green, and you look very good even in your old age," said the triangle in happiness and surprise.
"And now cheer up; you're not alone. There are many triangle-shaped trees in our amazing world. Come on, now do one more thing. There's a samosa shop next to you. Go there and bring fresh 'samosas' for your fellow travellers,” said the old tree.
When the triangle reached the shop, he was more surprised because the door of the shop was rectangular, the windows were square, but the roof was like a triangle. He was very happy to see this. He no longer felt alone. He was even more surprised when he bought samosas from the shop, as they too resembled him in shape.
Meanwhile, all the other shapes had reached there looking for him. He smiled as he found everyone around him.
"Why are you here, Triangle?" Cube asked him.
"Bringing samosas for you guys," replied the triangle.
"But why? We have already eaten." Cylinder said.
"Because I am so happy, the old tree has told me a very good thing today. The creator of this amazing world has given everyone very good shapes. We should be happy with our form, and anyway, I am not alone in this world,” replied the triangle with a constant smile.
"Come on! Let's eat samosas in this joy. I don't see anyone like me, but I am happy with the shape that the creator has given only to me," said Hexagon.
Then they all enjoyed samosas and went back to their village, "Geometria," before evening.
