THE LITTLE BLUE FLOWER

She was beautiful and lovely, with very green leaves. But although she was wonderful, she was sad and always down. The wind, her friend, visited her every morning, and concerned, wanted to know the reason for all this sadness:

I’m beautiful, but all I want is to see other little flowers around me.

The forest became a little sad; with the lack of so much of its rich music, the forest was no longer the same.

In the life of human beings, there are still people who don’t feel good when they see something beautiful, and they try to damage, destroy and transform a scene
