Fairy Tales: the Flower Fairy
The Flower Fairy has a garden filled with all kinds of flowers, spreading fragrance everywhere and attracting butterflies and bees.
Orchids, peonies, azaleas, butterfly flowers, gardenias, and countless other flowers are basking in the sunlight and enjoying the gentle breeze. They are blooming in full color, looking vibrant and beautiful from afar.
At this moment, the Flower Fairy arrives, and everyone warmly greets her. The lily pulls the Fairy’s arm, coquettishly asking, “Flower Fairy, Flower Fairy, do you think I’m beautiful today?” The Flower Fairy laughs softly, gently touching her forehead, and says, “You little cutie, when are you not beautiful?” “What about me?” “And me?” Hearing the Flower Fairy praise the lily’s beauty, the other flowers became jealous and started asking too. The Flower Fairy quickly said, “Darlings, you are all very beautiful!”
“Flower Fairy, you’re lying! There’s one flower that’s not beautiful!” the chrysanthemum said, pouting. The Flower Fairy curiously asked which flower she was talking about, and she pointed to a flower in the corner.
The flower had its head drooping, with only a few small blossoms, looking listless. “She really isn’t pretty!” “Yes, she’s very ugly!” “Flower Fairy, how can such an ugly flower live with us? Let’s send her away!” The flowers chattered non-stop.
The Flower Fairy cleared her throat and deliberately asked loudly, “Do you want to know why I planted her here?” The flowers responded in unison, “Yes!” The Flower Fairy mysteriously said, “It’s a secret, and I’ll only tell you at night! If you want to know the answer, you must not bully her!” After saying this, the Flower Fairy flew away.
Night soon fell. After a busy and playful day, the flowers were tired and yawning. They would have gone to bed early if not for waiting to hear the Flower Fairy’s secret. At this moment, a sweet fragrance wafted through the air, dispelling their sleepiness. “Wow, it smells so good! Whose scent is this?” the rose exclaimed.
It turned out to be the flower hiding in the corner! She silently bloomed, revealing delicate and transparent white flowers, looking enchanting under the moonlight, as if wearing a bright white evening dress. Moths, attracted by the scent, fluttered around her. The flowers were stunned!
Before they could react, the Flower Fairy quietly arrived and said, “Now, do you know why I planted her here? Her name is Night-Blooming Jasmine. During the day, she blooms only a few flowers with a faint scent, so everyone thought she wasn’t beautiful. But she has a unique trait—her petals have pores. When the air’s humidity increases, the pores open, causing the flowers to bloom more, look prettier, and release a stronger fragrance.
At night and on rainy days, without the sun, the air is more humid, so she blooms the most beautifully and fragrantly during these times! Darlings, do you understand now? In the future, never jump to conclusions before understanding something clearly!”
After hearing the Flower Fairy, the flowers nodded earnestly and then started chatting warmly with the Night-Blooming Jasmine. From then on, the flower garden became even more beautiful…
