Chapter 3: The sunny season

After the rainy season had gone by, the sunny season started. The orange flower felt very happy under the warrm sun and smiled a lot. One day, the orange looked at the sun and asked: Sun, are you bored being the sun? Or do you sometimes think I want to be something else? No, little orange flower. I like it very much to be the sun and to give everyone a nice warm day like today. Why did you ask this question little orange flower? Do you sometimes think you want to be something else? Yes sun, I sometimes think of being something else. Like the clouds or a mountain,but I can not be something else. I am just this small little flower. What is wrong being a small little flower? Well, I don't know.

The orange flower started thinking hard. Why did he wanted to be something else. One day the green plant asked the orange flower: Orange flower, about what are you thinking? You are so quiet. Well green plant, I was thinking about why I wanted to be something else. I asked the sun if he wanted to be something else, but he didn't want to be something else. Do you want to be something else, green plant? No, orange flower. I want to stay the green plant I am now.

Why does everybody wants to be himself and not somebody else? The orange flower did not know it anymore. It was very confused. A lot of days had past and the orange flower was still thinking about wanting to be something else. One day there came another new friend. It was a small flower just like the orange flower. It was a new blue friend, that had just grown up. He liked the orange flower a lot and was happy to be standing next to him. Out of nowhere the blue flower asked the orange flower: Orange flower, isn't it nice to be a small flower! Blue flower why do you think that? Well, we are very small and colourful so all the little children find us cute and nice. And when I see them being very happy because they saw us, I just can not help it but smile the rest of the day. The orange flower was very surprised and started thinking about what the blue flower had said.

A few days later the sun was shining really bright and happy and it woke the orange flower up. The orange flower turned to the sun and he said: Sun, I no longer want to be something else. I want to stay the small orange flower that I am now, because we need everyone to make the world a little bit better. The sun smiled at the orange flower and said well done thinking that orange flower. I completely agree with you!

Chapter 2: The rainy season.

The windy season past by. It was full of struggles. Old friends had blown away and new friends had come. The big green plant and the orange flower had become very good friends and shared everything with eachother. Not long after the windy season had past, the rainy season started.

It had only started just a few weeks ago, when a new friend appeared. But that friend was not always there, it only appeared when the sun was shining and the rain was raining. The orange flower liked his new friend a lot. His new friend had very beautiful colours and it was always smiling. The orange flower wondered if he could be that happy all the time. He wanted to know his secret, so he could be happy himself.

One day, the orange flower had gathered enough courage to ask his new friend. rainbow, how can you smile a the time? The rainbow looked at the orange flower and his smile became even bigger. Then he said: because I see the flowers and the plants. I see a day full of hope and delight. I see my friends and their beauty.

The orange flower waited and waited, but the rainbow did not go further. At the same time,when the orange flower wanted to ask what he meant, the rain stopped raining and the rainbow disappeared. He did not know what to do. After he did some thinking he turned to his green friend and asked him: Green plant, do you know what the rainbow meant? The green plant started smiling just like the rainbow had done and said you will learn as time passes by.

The orange flower signed. Why did he get such an impossible answers. All of the sudden he remembered that the green plant had learnt him to have faith. So the orange flower believed that he would understand what the rainbow meant when time passes by.

Chapter 1 The windy season

The windy season had just begun and the orange flower started to become scared. The orange flower was not strong and quiet a lot blue flowers had already blown away. All of the sudden there was this big green plant next to the orange flower. The orange flower looked at the green plant and was surprised. How can this plant be blown away, it is looking strong. The green plant greeted the orange flower. The orange flower greeted the green plant also and asked: How can you look so strong and still be blown away by the wind? The green plant answered: I was bored at the place where I was before. I wanted to go somewhere else. That is why I made sure to go far away from that place. Then I found this place and I thought by myself this is where I want to be.

Now the orange flower was even more surprised. Why are you willing to travel in this already dangerous season? I wanted to go somewhere else and in this season you can come further than in a normal season. Weren't you scared? No, not at all. The green plant looked at the orange flower. If you have faith then nothing is impossible. The orange flower started thinking. So if I have faith in the fact that I am staying here and let go of my fear, then I will stay here? Yes, indeed little flower. And I can be as big as you? Why don't you try!

Since that day on the orange flower believed that it could grow as big as the green plant. The orange flower had faith and wasn't scared anymore of the wind.
