This story narrates the tale of a unique water-lily who is different from her sister lilies in a pond because she only opens half her petals during the day, reserving her full bloom for the moon, whom she sees as her true love. While her sisters embrace and share their love with the sun, the water-lily cherishes a more personal and exclusive connection with the moon, despite its distance and cold nature. Through her actions, she teaches the other lilies about the depth and uniqueness of love, showing that true love transcends time and space. The story emphasizes themes of individuality, preference in love, and the understanding that what may be perceived as beautiful or special varies from one being to another.
