WHAT THE FLOWERS TOLD MARTHA
What the Flowers told Martha
Martha was visiting her grandmother, who lived in the country. At the back of the farmhouse was a very large porch, and in the front of that a garden in which grew all kinds of flowers.
One afternoon, when everyone else was taking a nap, Martha sat on the porch. It was warm and a bee was buzzing around the flowers. Every little while he would fly around Martha's head.
"I wish I had someone to play with," thought Martha. "Everybody is asleep and I am lonesome."
"The flowers want you to come into the garden," buzzed the bee.
Martha listened, for she could not believe the bee was really speaking to her, but she heard again, "The flowers want you to come into the garden."
