The Love Flower

By Urbano Salvati

The story begins in Ireland. There was a mighty, evil king named Giardino, who ruled everyone by cracking a whip. He lived in a castle surrounded by a moat. A fire breathing dragon operated the long drawbridge. The king's pride and joy were his garden, which was visited by people from all over the country. One day another king came to visit and to admire the beautiful flowers. He told King Giardino that he did not have the most beautiful flowers. There was a lady who grew an enchanting flower in her garden which she called "The Love Flower". King Giardino sent his knights to find this "Love Flower." They brought it back and the king had it planted in his garden. He was so impressed with the flower's amazing colors. However, the next morning, when he went to admire his "Love Flower", he found all of its petals on the ground. The king viewed this as a curse and immediately went with his knights to find the lady who was growing these "Love Flowers". They couldn't even find her house, let alone the lady. When they returned to the castle, he found his dragon so sick he could not even breathe fire. He was so upset, he retired to his chamber. Later that night, an angel appeared to him and said, "Look at all your evil ways and realize all the suffering you have caused." That visit from the angel changed King Giardino forever...
