  It was the coldest winter ever.  Many animals died because of the
cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together.
This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one
wounded their closest companions even though they gave off heat to each
other. After awhile, 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. This way they learned to live with the little wounds that
were caused by the close relationship with their companion, but the most
important part of it, was the heat that came from the others. This way they
were able to survive.



     Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings
together perfect people, but the best is when each individual learns to live
with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good
qualities.



     In other words:   LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE
