Victoria’s favorite flowers were
daffodils. When spring came they grew in her garden. She thought they
looked like bright yellow trumpets. Pink butterflies came to sip nectar
and gather pollen. Bumblebees buzzed from flower to flower. Victoria loved
the sweet smell of the daffodils. When the wind blew, they nodded their
flowery heads up and down. The new leaves on the trees shimmered and made
a whispering sound. Victoria watered the flowers every day to help them
grow tall. Sunshine kissed their soft petals.
Sometimes she picked up the rich
brown earth. Worms wriggled about in her hands. Ants crawled up her legs
as she sat in the dirt. Victoria giggled when a ladybug landed on her
nose. Drops of rain fell from gray clouds and dripped from the daffodil’s
leaves.
Victoria put on her raincoat and
galoshes. Her raincoat was the same color as the daffodils. She’d jump in
the puddles and splash water on her legs. When the rain stopped, a rainbow
spread across the sky. Instead of gray clouds, puffy white ones floated
slowly by. Victoria liked to smell the pink roses, The violets and the
iris, but none of them smelled or looked as pretty as her favorite
flowers, the daffodils. |
