The Flowers

Mark and Deena

live in a little village.

 

Today is

mom’s birthday,

and Mark and Deena

are so sorry,

that they have

no money.

They want to give

mom a present.

 

Then Deena says,

“Let’s go to the park

and make a bouquet of flowers

for mom.”

 

So the two children

walk to the park.

It is hot,

and there are lots

of flowers.

 

They find violets

and make a bouquet each.

“Now mom will be happy,”

Mark says.

 

“Really happy,”

Deena says.

“But where do

those flowers

come from?”

 

“From the sun,”

Mark says.

“They fall out of the sun

in the spring.”

 

“This is strange,”

Deena says.

“Then there should be

violets everywhere.”

 

Then the two children

walk back to mom

and they give her

the two bouquets.

“Oh, how happy I am,”

mom says.

“How beautiful flowers!”

 

And she gives

her children a hug.

“You are the best for me.

I cannot do without you.”
