The childhood friendship

A cycas plant and a coconut plant,

Grown together in a nursery,

Were transplanted severally.

They grew to different heights in due course.

It was the dwarf cycas which had been proud

To say that the coconut tree was his play mate.

A mango seed and a banyan seed,

Sown and watered in a germination bed,

Were transplanted severally.

They grew to different shapes in due course

It was the little mango which was proud

That the banyan tree was her nursery mate.
