Sunflower Travel Story

Well, here is a short story with a lesson that I learnt from a five-year-old.  Sometimes last year, Lucky came home with sunflower seeds from his school trip.  Initially when he and his dad planted the seeds, they grew but looked like weeds.

His siblings laughed but Lucky was determined and kept watering his plants.  Day by day, slowly by slowly, Lucky’s sunflowers grew as he watered until they blossomed into beautiful sunflowers.

The lesson I learnt from Lucky is to keep moving on.  Plant your seeds (dreams), water until they grow.  Even if you are discouraged, keep watering, have hope and one day you will get your reward.

*Fun fact: Kenya is the 3rd largest exporter of cut flowers in the world. Kenya is located in the equator and its sunny climate enables high quality blossoms.
