Once upon a time there was a magnolia tree, and it grew the most beautiful flowers of its time. There was one flower in particular who not only had the most beautiful fragrance; it carried within it, the seed of love. It worked very hard at being the prettiest flower on the tree, in hopes that someone would come and pick it for their very own. The flower could not speak what its heart held dear, but only wish for it. Every year, it would take in just the right amount of living water, and sunshine from the magnolia tree, seeing to it that its fragrance would be the best of all the flowers. And oh how that flower longed to be chosen. Year after year, the flower waited, until one day, it could not take it any longer, and so it wilted, and the seeds fell out of the flower like tears, and it died, because no one came to pick it.
