Paul
used to live in a very beautiful house that had a wonderful garden
decorated with a lot of flowers. Some of those were still seeds, prepared
to bloom.
One
of them -we don't know how- was left out of the soil, in a place close
to a fountain. The time went by, and the seed was more and more ill,
because it hardly ever was watered (it only received some drops from
the fountain from time to time). It was not going to grow and become
a beautiful flower if it continued in the same way.
One
day, while Paul was playing in the garden, he saw the seed and thought:
"It would be better if I took care of this seed at home; if I do this,
it will become as strong as the others". So he took a small flowerpot
and put some soil in it; then he introduced the seed in it to keep
it warm. Everyday, when Paul got up, the first thing he did was to
water his seed. A short time later, a small green branch appeared,
and it began to grow faster and faster.
Paul
got up one day and his happiness was huge when he saw a small flower
appearing from the green branch. The flower was smiling at him. From
that day the flower was never sad again, because it knew it had a
friend who took care of it and gave affection to it.
