    In an animated world lived four best friends - Circle, Square, Triangle, and Rectangle. They were happy but, one day, an argument began among them about who was the best.

    Circle claimed to be the best, boasting about its round and smooth shape, and how children use it to draw happy faces. It said, 'I am the best because of my simplicity and beauty.'

    Square, not agreeing with Circle, said, 'I am the best! I have four equal sides. Children love sweets that are square-shaped. I am beautiful and thus, the best.'

    Triangle interrupted loudly, 'I am the best! I have three sides. Children use me to draw mountains. They enjoy snacks in my shape. So, I am the best!'

    Rectangle laughed and said, 'No one is better than me. I have four sides, two long, two short. Children enjoy biscuits and chocolates in my shape. I am the best!'

    They decided to ask the first person they meet. They met a Star and asked her to decide who was the best among them.

    The Star was wise. She thought for a while, then said, 'All of you are friends. Why should you fight? Together you all can create the most beautiful pictures and patterns.'

    'Just look around. We find amazing designs and things in all shapes. So, stop fighting. Together we all can create wonders.'

    The friends realised their mistake. They understood that each of them is unique and best in their own way. They promised each other that they would never fight again.

    They learned a valuable lesson that day. They understood that arguing over who is the best is a waste of time. Instead, they should appreciate each other's uniqueness and work together.

    They made up and continued their journey, now with a better understanding of each other. They remembered the Star's wise words and decided to work together from then on.

    They remained best friends forever, cherishing their differences and creating beautiful patterns together. And thus, the four shapes lived happily, learning and growing together, creating wonders.
