A youth in the jungle, knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, it was called Narcissus.

When Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

"Why do you weep?" The Goddesses asked.

" I weep for Narcissus". The lake replied.

They said ,"for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand"

"But! was Narcissus beautiful?" the lake asked.

"Who better than you would know that!" The goddesses said in wonder ,"After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself".

The lake was silent for sometime. Finally it said ,"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because each time he knelt beside my bank, I could see, in the depth of his eyes, MY OWN BEAUTY REFLECTED!"
