Linglong Town once had no flowers, for flowers couldn't be eaten or worn as clothing--until the flower girl arrived and opened her shop. When a couple quarreled, they headed to the finest restaurant in the big city. The flower girl spread a vast carpet of blossoms beneath them, and their anger melted away as they savored the most romantic dinner. A young girl next door loved singing but feared the stage. The flower seller gave her a yellow hornflower necklace and a secret to courage. From then on, flowers became an indispensable part of the girl's singing. At the town square's stage, the flower seller brought a jar of candied osmanthus. The story behind the candied osmanthus touched everyone, and flowers became an essential part of life in Linglong Town. Flowers may seem useless, yet they transform life from the ordinary.
