A beautiful rose or a magical glow…

This story is as old as the world, and beautiful as sunlight …

As a child, my grandmother read it to me, and today I will tell it to you …

There was a rich merchant, and he had an only daughter. Clever and beautiful Elin, a joy for a loving father.

The time came, and the merchant was going to the city, leaving his daughter alone with a heavy heart and asked:

– What do you want to bring back from your trip?

… The girl asked for a rose.

The father said goodbye and went on his way. The road was long and treacherous, it went through the forest, therefore, having finished all the work, and returning back, the merchant got lost, never reaching the house.

The sun was already setting, and the man decided to spend the night in the forest. Lights appeared in the distance. Approaching, he saw an old hut, around which bushes with beautiful scarlet roses grew like a wall. The merchant knocked, but no one opened it, so he entered, as the door was not locked. The guest carefully walked around the house, and not meeting anyone there, returned to the dining room. On the table he saw a beautiful vase, in that vase were extraordinarily beautiful flowers. Flowers to go radiated light, which led him to the hut.

– I wish I had at least one such rose, for my dear Elin, – the merchant thought, and, having found the bedroom, with the thought that he would go home tomorrow, he fell asleep.

He was awakened by a pleasant female voice, which urged him to wake up and taste fresh pastries.

“Aren’t you angry with me for invading your house like that without asking?” the merchant asked.

Of course not! You didn’t steal or destroy anything. And most importantly, you did not succumb to the temptation and did not touch either the vase or the roses standing in it. So you are a kind and honest person.

The man became even more interested:

– And what kind of vase is this, and where does this Magic light come from?

– Glow is the kindness, courage, health, intelligence and love that flowers are filled with. And they nourish all these properties precisely thanks to this magic pot.

– And I so wanted to ask one rose for my daughter. She loves flowers so much. – answered the man.

– Choose a rose. Take the one she likes.

– But after all, without a magic vase, they will lose their beauty!

– Take it, give it to your daughter, and you’ll see what happens.

The merchant took the rose, thanked the kind woman, and left. He miraculously got home very quickly, where the beautiful Elin was eagerly waiting for him.

The father gave his daughter a rose, and when she put her water on, both the rose and the vase lit up. They were enveloped in a magical light, which since then has brought only goodness and peace to this house.

It was exactly that wonderful rose that Ellie found over time … In the world, nothing happens senselessly and aimlessly.

Remember this…
