There was a young woman. She was quite proud of growing flowers in her yard. She had been raised by her grandmother, who had taught her to love and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.

One day, while looking through a flower, list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like it before, "I have to have it," she said to herself, and she ordered it right away.

When it arrived, she found a place to plant it. She planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of the yard. It grew vigorously, with very beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take good care of it, and she also looked forward to enjoying the flowers, but still there were not any.

One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad,.”It grows well, but why don’t I see any flowers?” She wanted to know the reason why her plant had not flowered, but still there was no idea.

However, at this moment, her friendly neighbor invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted.” “Did I plant? Where?” the young woman was quite surprised. Quickly she walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers. She couldn’t believe her eyes.

They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices in the wall.
