The Little Rose

A Little Rose Plant lived inside a dark room. One day she heard a soft tapping on her door? “Who’s there?” She asked.

“I am Little Raindrop. Please let me in,” cried the visitor. “No way!” said the Rose Plant angrily.

Little Rain- drop was very sad for being turned away. After sometime, the Rose Plant heard a soft rustle near the door.

“Who’s there now?” She asked. “I am Sunny Sunshine”. said the new visitor. “I don’t have time for sunshine.” said the Little Rose Plant haughtily.

A few days later, the leaves of the Little Rose Plant turned brown in color, and her young stem began drooping.

Then one day, she heard the chirping of birds, and open her door to see outside. It was spring and there were colorful flowers and greenery all around. The Little Rose Plant realized her mistake.

So when Rain and Sunshine returned, she welcomed them warmly.

After a few days she had a pretty pink rose, for which she thanked the Raindrop and Sunshine.
