Tales from childhood: First we don’t appreciate things, then we feel regret about it.

Sometimes Sophie was a moody child. She didn’t value simple but important things around her.

On the windowsill little Sophie had a pot with flowers. Her grandmother bought it for Sophie, at the end of third grade. This plant was unusual for granny.

“Your flower had many green leaves and bright petals. But color of it is pink,” grandmother said to Sophie.

“This is a simple plant. My flower requires a lot of troubles. Similar weeds grow in the garden, too.” little Sophie said with a smirk.

But the home flower gave a wonderful aroma. Sophie’s granny regularly watered it. Sophie didn’t like this deal. She was afraid to pour water on the carpet.

Also, Sophie thought that the beautiful flower has more problems than it was worth. The petals often fell on the windowsill and carpet.

“Oh! Today my room is full of garbage again!” Sophie wailed when she found pink petal or green stalk from her flower.

Despite this, somewhere deep down Sophie loved this flower.

After watering the ground in the pot became wet. Then little Sophie felt the smell of nature. It smelled like a light summer air.

But unfortunately flower wilted. Sophie and her grandmother tried to save their plant. They transplanted flower. It didn’t help. In Sophie’s room there was no longer a pleasant aroma and a beautiful plant.

Just now she did realize how was important the flower was for her. Sophie had a simple windowsill. Lacking only aroma and beauty.

“I miss my flower!” Sophie thought.

Now little Sophie tried to value things which were near.
