Flower

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a young woman named Lily. She grew up in a small village that was famous for its white flowers. In particular, the white flower was considered to be a symbol of true love and purity. Every year, the village held a white flower festival where people from far and wide came to admire the beauty of the white flowers.

Lily's parents were flower farmers and they had a huge white flower garden, which was the largest in the entire village. Lily was always fascinated by the flowers and would spend countless hours just staring at them. One day, while she was wandering in the garden, she stumbled upon a small white flower. It was different from the others and had a unique fragrance that she had never smelled before.

She picked the flower and took it to her mother, who was surprised to see it. She told Lily that this was a special flower that grew only once in a hundred years. It was said that whoever found this flower would be blessed with good fortune and happiness for the rest of their life.

Lily was overjoyed to hear this and decided to keep the flower with her forever. She kept it safely in a wooden box under her bed and would often go to see it when she was feeling low. The fragrance of the flower always lifted her spirits and gave her strength.

Years went by, and Lily grew into a beautiful young woman. She fell in love with a farmer named John, who lived in the neighboring village. Her parents were delighted with her choice and arranged for their marriage. The wedding was planned to take place during the white flower festival, and all the villagers were invited to attend.

The day of the wedding arrived and Lily looked resplendent in her white dress with a white flower in her hair. As she walked towards the church, she felt a sudden urge to touch the wooden box that held her special flower. She opened the box, and to her shock, found that the flower had wilted.

She was devastated and did not know what to do. She hurriedly closed the box and went ahead with the wedding. But her heart was heavy, and she felt that something was missing. All her life, she had relied on the power of the white flower to bring her happiness, but now it seemed that the magic was gone.

As the wedding ceremony ended, Lily's father handed her a beautifully wrapped gift. She opened it and to her surprise, found a bouquet of freshly picked white flowers. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air, and Lily felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She realized that the power of true love and the purity of the white flower were one and the same. The love she shared with John would bring her more happiness than any flower ever could.

From that day on, Lily treasured the bouquet of white flowers more than anything else in the world. And whenever she was feeling low, the fragrance of the flowers would lift her spirits and remind her of the power of true love.
