Unnoted notables

Two flowers grew on a hill. One became droopy. The other asked, “Hey! Why the long face?” The first one whined, “What’s the point? No one appreciates my beauty.” 

The second* one laughed, “Not so! The sun comes daily. Butterflies and birds visit too. The wind gurgles. The hill holds us. We say thank you by blooming to our fullest.” Unconvinced, the first flower scoffed. 

Next day a powerful storm blew in, laying the hill nearly barren. The second flower was destroyed. 

But the sun came back, soon the birds and butterflies. The first flower bloomed the best she could.
