The Five Finger

There are five fingers in each of our hands. One day a they had a debate to decide who is the greatest among them.

The thumb finger started his claim:

“I am absolutely essential for eating, writing and for grasping any object by the hand. Moreover, holding the thumb up is a universal symbol of victory. I am sucked by babies and then I shower motherly affection and consolation on them.” So I am greatest and useful.

The index (fore) finger was the next to speak. He argued,

“I am essential to point to any object and to accuse a person. Speakers use me to express ideas emphatically and to point at people with power. I am raised above all of you to indicate that a thing is the first and the best.” So I am greatest and useful.

The middle finger asserted,

"I am definitely the longest among us and so I am the natural leader of this family. I have the maximum dignity and I always have two of you to guard me on either side. You cannot question my status or stature.” So I am greatest .

The ring finger said,

I am the symbol of love, romance, marriage and family life. I am decorated with a golden ring during engagement and marriage, the greatest and most memorable moments of one’s life. I shine among you like a king wearing a royal, golden crown.” so I am greatest.

The little finger who heard their conversation now spoke .

I am the smallest, but I am not the least or the last. As the baby of the family, I deserve special care and consideration. Undoubtedly I am the most beautiful finger with a lovely tenderness and a lively grace. When the hands are folded during a prayer or expression of respect, I stay in front of all of you as the leader. But we all are joined together when we are folded . Everyone are equally important and useful in us.

All are special in their own way don't compare your self to others and be united
