Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a mum named Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith loved flowers and had a beautiful garden filled with all kinds of flowers like lilies, daisies and poppies. She took care of her flowers with so much love and affection that her garden was the talk of the town.

One day, as Mrs. Smith was tending to her flowers, she noticed that the lily, daisy, and poppy were not happy. They were drooping and looked sad. Mrs. Smith was very worried and asked the flowers what was wrong.

The lily spoke up and said, "Mrs. Smith, we love you so much and appreciate all the care you give us, but we are feeling very left out. You always give more attention to the other flowers in the garden."

Mrs. Smith was shocked and didn't know what to do. She loved all her flowers equally and didn't want any of them to feel left out. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She decided to throw a party for her flowers.

The next day, Mrs. Smith threw a grand party for all her flowers, and the lily, daisy, and poppy were the guests of honor. There was music, dancing, and lots of laughter. The flowers had the time of their lives, and from that day on, they never felt left out again.

The end.

Moral of the story: Love and appreciation can make even the saddest flowers bloom with happiness.
