THE YELLOW FLOWER

By Vidushi Choudhary (VIII)

The students of Royal Public School went for a picnic to a forest. While roaming in a group, Heema found a beautiful yellow flower and she went near it. Her friends moved forward, but she went near the flower. And she was about to touch the flower. Other flowers said, “No, no, don’t touch it.” She was astonished to see all the flowers speak. She was also confused whether she should touch it or not. But at the same time she saw the yellow flower crying. Heema was kind and so she touched it with love. What a miracle! Heema reached a world where no one was there! Again she was amazed. She said, “Wow! What a beautiful place is this!”
On the other side in the forest, her friends were walking on and on. Suddenly one of them asked, “Heema, don’t you feel hungry?” “…..” There was no answer. Then she started searching for Heema. Everyone started searching for her and found out that she was missing.
“Oh! Where is Heema?” they all said together.

On the other hand, in the world where she had gone, Heema was enjoying. She kept walking and said, “Hello! Hello! Is anyone here?”
There was no answer. She heard a sound of crying from far away.
“Who is crying?” she said.
But after a while, she came to a girl who was crying. She was wearing a black dress.
Heema saw her back and touched her shoulder from behind.
“Oh! You are the one who is crying?” But the girl didn’t reply.
Then Heema came in front of her and said, “Why have you covered yourself in black dress?”

She kept crying and said, “I am the yellow flower that you touched in the forest! Many years ago, I was very beautiful. I was walking with my friends in a forest. I used to be very mischievous at that time. One Mahatma was sitting and meditating under a tree. He wore a very long hair. I always had scissors with me for play. I was in a joyful and funny mood. I cut his long hair and he opened his eyes.
“He said, ‘You are a foolish girl. How dare you cut my hair? I give you a curse that you will go to a lonely land and your hair will never grow! When one girl or boy gives you magic water and you drink it, your hair will grow. Then there will be people and you will marry someone.’ I started crying and begged him to forgive me but he did not show any mercy. I used to be very beautiful” the girl said, “but till now my hair has not grown. Please help me. If I get my hair, this place will be full of people and I will get married.”

“Well, how can I help you? From where can I bring that magic water?” said Heema without controlling her curiosity.
“Sure, far away from here there is a river. Please bring a pot full of water from there. I’ll be saved,” said the girl.
Heema did so and the girl slowly drank the water from the pot. As she drank slowly, her hair too started growing slowly. Soon the girl looked beautiful in a colourful dress and wore a beautiful long hair. Her curse was removed. She was excited and thanked Heema.
“O dear! You are so kind. I didn’t tell you something. I am a fairy. Here, have this magic wand. There is a red button on it. Whenever you miss me, press that button. I’ll appear in front of you. Now, let me say good-bye to you. Bye, bye, Heema!” said the fairy and disappeared in the air. Heema too reached the place where her friends were in the forest.
“Oh! Heema! Where were you?” they cried together.
“I was just here somewhere around. Come, let’s go home,” said Heema. They all went home. Now whenever Heema misses the fairy, she presses the button. And the fairy and Heema are very good friends now. It has been almost two years of their friendship. The fairy got married to a prince and that world is full of people now.
