Every morning, the little kids wake up and race to the grove
of white flowers to pick them up and sell them for money. They were only
allowed to pick the blooming flowers. They competed to collect the most flowers
to sell them in straps of 10. Little Cherry, with a smile lacking front teeth,
always wins because she's organized and doesn't get distracted by the other
noisy kids who tried to trick her into searching for blooming flowers where
there isn't any.
The kids to wake up the earliest so they would get the
blooming flowers of that day first. But they often wake up at the same time
because they stayed in the same room and a chicken from the neighborhood called
chickchick would come to wake them up every day for their morning endeavor or
race or on that particular day for Cherry, an adventure.
Little Cherry used to have a strategy. She was organized since
she was young and that still shows in her now as an adult. She says she was an
ugly duckling and now her beauty is crusted with elegant confidence. The toothless
cherry, wearing red that beautiful morning, would go around the flower field
line by line to collect the flowers, while the other kids randomly traversed
around. She would pick the most flowers because she didn't waste time going
around and she most efficiently collected the most flowers. Being organized and
systematic was her strategy and that still works well for her.
One day she was amazed when she found a big white flower. It
was the biggest flower she ever found and it was different in the way it
bloomed. This flower seemed very unique to her and had extra shine of whiteness
and extra bloom and contrasted beautifully with the red shirt she was wearing. Exhilarated, she
strapped this precious flower and started to celebrate her happiness. She
started running around and yelling and screaming in happiness for the kids
about her beautiful blooming big white flower.
Then there was the quacking. The unfriendly buzzes of an
unfriendly goose startled the little tiny toothless Cherry who got scared. Out
of nowhere, a quacking goose started chasing Cherry who was screaming in
happiness just moments ago only to start running and scream in fear of the duck
moments after.
She went around a block of flowers when unfortunately her
uncle who was there watching the kids race around, grabbed the goose and saved
the little Cherry. Cherry was happy she is finally safe and was glad she
strapped her big flower so it wasn't harmed.
A morning of love, peace, beauty, innocence and nostalgia.
