Once upon a time there was a strange creature living in a planet far from the Earth. There was no one dwelling there but this creature. Actually they were two, but had stuck to each other in a peculiar way. The shape of their body was like an egg and each of them had a very big eye which had almost covered half of their bodies. They were stuck to each other from the back side so they could never see each other or even themselves, like two eyes which are being glued together from their back. Their planet was really beautiful and they enjoyed looking at different sceneries of their planet, and they never had an image of ugly thing in their minds. The only problem was that there were neither mirrors nor water so that they could see themselves. Although they couldn’t see each other, they loved one another. One day Cat told Cap “we love everything around us because they’re beautiful. How about ourselves? Are we beautiful or not?” there was no answer to this question since they had never seen each other, or even themselves. However in their dreams they would imagine two beautiful creatures which were connected to each other by the power of love. They were living in peace until one day an incident happened. They heard a sound of something breaking. They dashed to see what was going on. As they got nearer to the sound they saw a weird shining. It was a piece of broken glass which might have tumbled there from a space craft or something like that. They were gazing at it for a while and didn’t know what to do. Cat dared to approach it and suddenly saw an unsightly round , which thought to be something inside the glass. As he moved his body the reflection in the glass would move as well. After being in a befuddled state for a while they came to the point that the reflection in the glass was theirs! At that very moment they became absolutely appalled. “Are we really this ugly?” they murmured. “We used to love this hideous malformed body amid all this beautiful flowers and places?” so they began to despise each other and also themselves! They were getting more despondent every day and they no more enjoyed the beautiful things in their planet and everything seemed ugly to them! This trend was going on. However one day everything changed. Cap was contemplating profoundly about the things that had happened lately. He was thinking about the past that how simply he used to love Cat without any legitimate reason. What made them love each other was the good feeling between them which held them close by heart. He realized that after the time he started to hate himself he even couldn’t love beautiful things he saw around him. So he came to the point that if he loved his friend Cat, it wasn’t because he was beautiful, but he was beautiful because he loved him! Then he talked to Cat about his insight, and also Cat admitted that they had been thinking wrongly. After they talked things over they began to love each other again, but this time their love was different from the doubtful feeling they had in the past.
