English Original
This story took place many summers ago. In a desert, perpetually dry and desolate, a young flower grew alone. Each day, she enjoyed the sun and asked, "When shall I grow up?"
The Sun would reply, "Be patient. With each touch of my rays, you grow a little."
She was filled with joy at the thought of bringing beauty to her sandy corner of the world. That was her sole desire: to add a little beauty to the world.
One day, a hunter passed by and accidentally stepped on her. As she lay dying, her sadness stemmed not from her impending death, but from the lost chance to fulfill her purpose.
Witnessing this, the Great Spirit said, "Indeed, she should live." He reached down, touched her, and restored her life. She grew into a beautiful flower, and because of her, that corner of the desert was transformed into a place of beauty.

这个故事发生在许多个夏天以前。在一片永远干燥而荒凉的沙漠里，一朵小花独自生长。每天，她享受着阳光，问道：“我什么时候才能长大？”
太阳总会回答：“耐心些。我的光芒每触碰你一次，你就长大一点。”
一想到能为她所在的这片沙地带来美丽，她就满心欢喜。这是她唯一的愿望：为这个世界增添一丝美好。
一天，一位猎人路过，不小心踩到了她。在她濒死之际，她的悲伤并非源于即将到来的死亡，而是源于失去了实现目标的机会。
目睹这一切的伟大神灵说道：“确实，她应该活着。”他俯下身，触摸了她，并赋予了她新的生命。她长成了一朵美丽的花，因为她的存在，那片沙漠的一角变成了美丽之地。
