Bucket Of Roses

 

BUCKET OF ROSES... ~ Is Our Story's Name

Youth! All ready?, to do some gardening.

Shortly after the close of First World War, I can’t forget that night dad came home, and said….. Family tomorrow your uncle comes home soo... I expect respect from you * to your uncle… oooky kids!!

~ And all Kids went craizyy like yeee! Uncle Uncle….

The next day uncle came home, after the house induction, he asked where the garden was, so Frank walked him there, he looked all around the garden and turned back to him and said.

~ do you know you have a good garden here and flowers are only beautiful if you take good care of them ~

Ahhaa!! - said the kid.

Go get some tools... we're going gardening.

* Uncle said *

~ Then... they cleaned and trimmed the garden and spoke about the beauty & importance of flowers to the Mother Nature and on how bees,butterflies and all kinds of birds and ants getting their food from the flowers. ~

And then, that was the best lesson learnt from uncle that day, until few years later when he turned back and said to him again. 

~ Frank do you know I’m going to sell all your father’s belonging after he kisses the dust!!! ~

Hearing that, his eyes went bigger… and… his bigger heart shrank within...

And he was young, may be 9 years, terrified thinking where he would go, leave or even the worse, what about my lovely mama!? What about my ooh! My!! What about, what about!!!?? All night long, and then he made a wish.

~ So he made a wish that his great uncle turns into a bucket of flowers and he’ll sell it everywhere ~

And the morning came, nobody seemed to know where uncle was, so... they filed reports and searched everywhere for many years and nowhere to be found, plus the garden was closed all that time, and Frank had missed his uncle already!.

So one morning, he went into the garden, but something was different, smelled different, looked very beautiful and different from the others, and guess what it was!? A giant bucket of flowers. And you dare question me what flower it was….!!? there pink roses and his family had been a major flowers distributer worldwide since then, and they've been doing this... for two good reasons... 1 in good memories of their pink uncle... and 2 for a better world full of beautiful flowers that’s yet to come.

So… go do something about your garden and think about this story again.

But remember.

~ Flowers are only beautiful if you take good care of them ~.
