Around it were big trees, colorful flowers, and green plants. The little seed felt sad and said, "I am so small. I can never become as beautiful as all of you."

Communication is considered effective only when the receiver correctly understands the message intended by the sender. 1. Sender The sender is the person who initiates the communication.
