Hello everyone, this story for kids is about a small flower’s feelings who was all alone in a big park. She explains the whole story through her own words. So, Lets listen to her feelings.
I open my eyes to see where I had landed. I saw a enourmous area filled with small size grass.
I looked up, down and around……….looking at the sky, trees and the damp soil.
I looked around again, again I see lots of grass and trees……..but no flowers like me.
I can remember very clearly, that before the human had picked me up, I was a very small daizy on a small garden like place with many daizies and other flowers.
How would I spend my time? I thought.
I looked up and saw a butterfly.
HI, how are you? I asked to the butterfly.
But, I don’t think the butterfly heard me, so it just flew away.
There I was again……….Alone, bored and lost, a place, that didn’t suit me.
I looked at the ground, it was covered in grass. Then all of a sudden, I had a good idea.
I had tried talking to the butterfly, but not to the grasses.
Ummm, Hello? I called out to the grasses.
Hi, a grass that was the closest to me had replied with a normal male voice. My name is Bush. T. Tushman, you can call me, Bush.
Fascinated by his reply, I said Oh, I am Helen. E. Trasy…..You can call me Trasy. I added. How many years have you been here Bush?
Ten. Bush replied.
How do you spend your time? I asked looking puzzled.
Even if we are small, does not mean that we can’t be happy. When you wake up from a good night’s sleep and see that the sun is giving you a soft warmth from across the horizon, the morning breeze lifts your head up and gives you a jolt of happiness.
Also, you look up to see a dew drop on your tip that makes a beautiful bright rainbow that sticks with you.
Don’t you think it would make your day?
I also have lots of friends like butterflies, grasses and birds that I can talk to.
Now you are my new friend.
I was amazed by what Bush had said. Was is really true that you could feel dew drops and have a tiny rainbow on your head?
I spend the rest of the day talking to Bush.
In the following morning, I woke up with a small Thud, I glanced around, and saw a human, a girl with a bike…..
She looked at me and smiled. She took her mother’s phone and pointed the phone at me. I think she was taking a picture of me, so I made my petals even brighter.
Wowww, beautiful! she said.
And then she started taking thousands of photos of me.
I think that’s enough, said a voice from my back.
It was her mom.
Yes, I think so too….the girl said.
Then they walked away.
Later that night I looked up at the sky, the stars were amazing, I stared at it.
Then a voice like Bush’s asked, what was your memorable moment here?
I looked at him and said “TODAY, when a girl took so many pictures…….of me.”
And that girl……..was ME…..Aanya.
Very good thought, s very nice.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Aanya, I absolutely love this story. I am working with a partner on my honors research which is looking at the emergency pedagogy, specifically how childrens mental health has been affected by the Covid pandemic. I wanted to ask permission to use your story in my research. It would be referenced and I could send you my research if you would be interested. Many thanks, Kirstin Maise
