1. A rose bud is seen blooming and growing into a beautiful flower. Right in front of the flower is a fence, adjoining which there is a house, suggesting that the flower belongs to the house within the fence. One beautiful morning, the door of the house that the flower is facing opens and a girl in her teens is seen coming out. The girl walks down a staircase and is heading towards the mail box by the gate. As she is walking, her attention is suddenly drawn towards the beautiful rose..She gets excited and runs towards it..All this time, the camera is placed behind the rose. The girl feels the flower with her hand and admires its beauty for a while. She feels tempted to pluck it, but realizes that she cannot, since it belongs in the neighborhood. As she is wondering as to how to get the flower, she hears the sound of a cycle bell ring. She turns around to see a guy passing by on his cycle and smiling at her. She is hesitant to smile back, but seems a bit interested in him. The boy is gone, now she turns to the flower again, looks at it for a while and walks ahead. As she walks away, the camera pans down and the thorns on the stem of the rose flower are shown. (In a dramatic way)
Thereafter, the girl comes out to watch the flower every morning, and also sees the guy cycling by and smiling at her. As days pass by, she starts to smile back at him and grows fond of him. This goes on for a few days. The temptation in the girl’s heart to pluck the rose grows stronger and one night, she finally decides that she would, the very next day, pluck the flower and approach the guy for friendship. So, she goes out the next morning. As she is nearing the rose, the thorns are again shown from a low angle (again in a dramatic way) and as she touches the stem, the thorns prick her fingers and she steps back in pain. She looks at her bleeding fingers, with tears rolling out of her eyes. As she is sniveling, she hears the cycle bell ring. She turns around and sees the guy smiling at her. She looks at him, looks down at the rose she just plucked and realizes that all that looks beautiful is not necessarily good. She turns around and walks away.
