The dandelion legend

When the universe was created God sent an Angel to Earth to ask each plant how they want to look like.

The Angel came to Earth and asked every plant how they wanted to look like and every plant answered the Angel, except the dandelion.

The dandelion didn’t know how she wanted to look like so she asked the Angel to give her another day to think about the answer. The Angel said that he will come back the next day for the answer.

During that day, while the dandelion was praying she looked up in the sky and saw the Sun. Impressed by it’s beauty she decided that she wants to look like the Sun. „I will tell the Angel that I want to be yellow, round and strong like the Sun” she thought.

During the dawn, the Moon was rising on the sky and the dandelion saw the Moon. Impressed by it’s beauty she decided that she wants to look like the Moon. „I will tell the Angel that I want to be white, round and mysterious like the Moon” she thought.

After a short time the Stars appeared on the sky. Impressed by their beauty as well, the dandelion thought that she wanted to look like the Stars. „I will tell the Angel that I want to fly in the sky, in million places, like the Stars” she thought.

The next day the Angel came and asked the dandelion:

– Please, tell me dandelion , how would you like to look like?

– I would like to look like God’s most beautiful creations: the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars, all together, the dandelion answered. Is that possible?

– I don’t know, the Angel said. I will take your wish to God and see.

And since then the dandelion is looking like the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, all together.
