At first I was disappointed that the flower was white and not hea- venly blue until I approached and looked into its pearly face‘ and admired the delicate petals shaded with five creamy folds. I stooped to dream in its love- liness and carried its white ghost‘ to the clattering office, where its beauty hovered all day over the typewritten word. Then there were the forgetâ€" me-nots. I’d frequently passed them with only a glance, but‘ one day I stopped to study them as they crowded at the foot of the steps. They nodded to me in the sunlight. their yellow- white faces aflame in a glowâ€" ing blue halo. They smiled â€"â€" yes. flowers can smile â€"â€" with such sweetness and joy that I never again walked past them without pausing to absorb their radiance. The birds sang in the trees and bushes. bathed in their in- veited-lid-of-a-dustbin bath. and nested where they could. Their voices rang with excitement and their wings brushed through the sky. Robins hopped on the grass .and tugged at worms which ‘wriggled and struggled to re- .main in the dark soil.
