电灯、手电筒和蜡烛是三个好兄弟，它们一起帮主人照明。可日子渐渐过去，它们也变得不一样了。除了谦虚蜡烛以外，电灯和手电筒都说自己是最好的，再过了几天，电灯和手电筒吵起架来。电灯说：“我照的最明亮。”手电筒说：“但你不能在外面照明。”手电筒和电灯的火气越来越大，后来都不理对方了。蜡烛看到它们时候总是问：“干嘛吵架？”可是他们却不理蜡烛。

直到有一天，主人家停电了，电灯不能照明了，手电筒也只能发出微弱的光。主人点燃了蜡烛照亮了整个屋子，这时手电筒和电灯都说是蜡烛最好。可是蜡烛说：“我虽然可以在停电的时候照明，但是在有电的时候没有你们亮，所以我并不是最好的。只有大家一起团结合作才能做得最好。”

手电筒和电灯羞红了脸，不好意思地点了点头说：“我们还是和睦相处吧！”从此，它们都一起照明。因为，它们明白了一个道理，那就是：物有所长也有所短。
