The Marble Tile and The Marble Statue

There was this museum laid with beautiful tiles,with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby.Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble statue.

One night the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.
Marble tile: "Marble statue, it's just not fair! Why does everybody from all over the world come all the way here just to step on me while admiring you? This is not fair!"
Marble statue: " My dear friend marble tile. Do you still remember that we actually from the same cave? "
Marble tile: "Yeah! That's why I feel it is even more unfair.We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment now. Not fair!" he cried again.
Marble statue: " Then do you still remember the day when the designer tried to work on you,but you resisted the tools?"
Marble tile: " Yes,of course I remember.I hate that guy! How could he use those tools on me, it hurts so badly".
Marble statue: " That's right! He couldn't work on you at all as you resisted being worked on so he started working on me instead.When he did so, I knew at once that I would be something different after his efforts.I did not resist his tools, instead I bore all the painful tools he used on me".
Marble tile was quiet for a while and marble statue continue saying " My friend, there is a price to everything in life.Since you decided to give up halfway, you can't blame anybody who steps on you now".
