THE GIANT FLOWER (SHORT STORY)


 There was a Giant flower in a flower garden. Once a princess came to the garden and wanted to purchase the big flower from the handsome gardener. But the gardener said this flower is the main attraction of the garden. So ,he will not sell it. The princess was offended and she left that garden. 

The giant flower said to the handsome gardener,"If again someone comes to purchase me from you then tell them I have a curse ,so my size grows bigger every month. So , selling me will not be good for anybody, for the seller or the buyer. ""Also tell that look at other flowers, they are also beautiful,so, you can purchase them too. " The gardener agreed.

Next year the gardener exhibited his Giant flower in a Flower Show. Many people wanted to purchase the flower at high price but the gardener told the sentences he was taught by the flower. People were convinced and kept away from the Giant flower. They looked at other flowers and bought them too. But the Giant flower always remained with the gardener.

Thus , many years passed,the Giant flower remained with the gardener as a friend giving wonderful tips all time . One day the gardener was curious and asked the flower," please tell me what is your secret?" "why are you so big and always treat me in a friendly way and how can you talk?" " You are unlike other flowers, what is your secret?"
The flower told ," Your father got me from a jungle where I was left unnoticed. When I was born I started growing bigger in the jungle,and I talked to the birds and animals since my birth time.I have no curse and I don't carry any poison. I only love you and want to stay with you forever.The jungle is cut up now and tall buildings and markets had been made there. It's my inborn power that I can talk and guide others,I am in love with you ,so , never think to sell me whatever the price comes."

The handsome gardener was single and he atlast decided to marry the flower who expressed love for him . So ,the human gardener and the Giant flower got married and the prosperity of the garden increased thereafter. The gardener became very rich by exhibiting the flower every year and never thought to sell it. He treated the flower as his wife and talked to it in every need. 
Thus they lived happily ever after completing a happy married life. Nothing is impossible in the world.
