One evening, a workman
was exhaustedly making his way home after work, when he stopped to rest by the
side of the road. A woman came by, pushing a cart full of flowers.
The smell of her blossoms so filled the air with sweetness that it seemed to
take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits. He had never
experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. "How
much must I pay, or what must I do, to have some of your wonderful
flowers?" he asked the woman.
"Oh, sir," she said,
"take what your wish for."
"What return must I make
for them?" he asked again.
"Your gratitude is
enough," she said, "and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of
flowers with you."
So the man filled his arms with
blossoms and hurried joyfully home. His wife and his children were also
glad over the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of
them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his
valuable possession, the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of
land behind his house. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautifulthey
still performed their fantastic magic.
Every day, his children took
delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers.
They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even
invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together. When
children came to play near the flowers, the man over and over warned them
against carelessness and wild play for fear that they walk on the flowers and
damage them. But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun
and water to nourish(滋养) them. Nowhere else could the man or his wife or
children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness, such comfort in
sadness, such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
With the news spreading and
more people coming to appreciate his treasure, the man became even more
concerned about his remarkable flowers.
