There was a garden with a lot of mango trees, some would fruit more mangoes and some less. The mango pickers discovered a great technique to ripen them. When the mangoes were still a little raw, they would pluck them and put them in a basket full of ripe mangoes and gradually they would ripe too.
There was a unripe mango that was plucked from its tree and put in a basket that had a few ripe mangoes, some too ripe and others spoiled. The unripe mango was put deep in with all the spoiled ones where it started to decay a little. One day another raw mango helped this unripe mango to appear on the surface and be next to a shinny ripe one. Miraculously, the unripe mango began to heal! The decay started fading away, a part of it started to ripe. Soon one day a cruel mango picker noticed this change and he wanted it to spoil. So, he pushed it down with the spoiled mangoes again to let it die. The ripe mango grew fond of it in the meanwhile and kept helping it up on the surface when the cruel mango picker would be away. Then one day, it was time for the ripe mango to leave the basket full of spoiled mangoes and go where ripe mangoes do. It was sad, they were sad. They saw each other to help each other ripe and had tonics together when they could. The unripe mango found a way to leave the basket temporarily and see the ripe mango every time it could. It learned that every time it could, it should ripe more than it could spoil.
For one day, it would really ripe.
