There was once a Flower
in a far back part of the green house. This poor Flower was a little kinked
because it had fallen off the table a little while back. This caused the
Flower to become rather sad for it felt that it now was flawed and that
no other Flower would hang around with it. The Flower become more and more
lonely as it saw all the other flowers playing with each other. They had
so much fun, and he had none.
He thought that the Master Gardener was not nice when he pinched off some of his leaves. He did notice that slowly the kink in the stem was healing and was less noticeable as time went on. Yet, he could not bring himself to play with the other flowers, he was afraid that they would not like his kink and make fun of him. So he sat nicely on his table and hoped that the Master Gardener would bring an understanding flower into his life.
One day, as the Flower was sitting around enjoying the sunshine, the Master Gardener brought a beautiful Rose into the green house. The Flower thought to himself that this Rose was a very beautiful one, beauty he had not seen before. The surprise was that the Master Gardener brought the Rose and set it down right next to the Flower. The Gardener was heard saying to himself that he loved these two flowers very much and that he had special plans for them.
The Flower became very busy and shy. He became scared since he had not really ever been this close to such a beautiful Rose before. Finally, he got enough courage to talk to the Rose. He was surprise that the Rose was also shy and had a small kink too. Most surprised was he because the Rose actually talked to him. He was so happy that he glowed and people noticed that he looked more beautiful because the Rose was talking to him. He thought that although the Rose had a slight kink, she too looked more beautiful because of it!
Finally, the Flower got the courage to ask the Rose to play with him. He had thought of it for some time now. He wished to make the Rose very happy but he was not sure how to play. He hoped that the Rose would help him to learn. So he said, "Will you play with me?" The Master Gardener was very pleased when he heard this request. He promised to help both of the flowers to learn to play as he had set up the game.
And so the story begins, of the fulfilled Flower and the Rose. The rest
of the story needs now to flourish.
