The Remarkable Rocket: Short Story

This is the perfect tale for how excessive pride and ego bring about the downfall of an individual.
To start with, Wilde weaves this story about a haughty and proud rocket, who goes about boasting of his worth. But life has other plans in store for him. About how his vanity & narcissism reach a point where he can't even realize that he's already in a ditch and there's no coming out of it. I just love how Wilde can teach you so much in so little words. His wit is just unbeatable!
Surely a must-read!
