The One and Only

A caveman lived in his little bush day after day. One day outside his bush he found a "plant" he had never seen before, a bright yellow flower. The flower sparkled in his eyes, and he saw it as a unique treasure. He tried to get his hands on the flower, but little did he know that it was a living creature that burrowed out of the ground and escaped when the savage pounced on it. A long and clueless chase begins between them.The caveman thinks the flower creature is the only one in the world, but at the end, he finds out that the so-called unique creature as actually common in other corners of the universe, and he finally leaves angry and disappointed. Just like sometimes we blindly pursue something, but do we appreciate the thing itself or its rarity?
