The Story of African Violet

Once, when Ellison went to give a lecture in a small town in the south-central United States, a colleague asked him to stop by to see his celibate aunt. My colleague said, "my aunt lives alone in an old house with no relatives. She suffers from extreme depression, is rigid, and refuses to change her lifestyle. Do you think there is any way to make her change?"

Ellison visited his colleague's aunt and found that the woman was more lonely than described, locked up alone in a dark century-old house, and there was not a trace of life around her.

Allison, a very gentle man, said politely to his aunt, "can you show me around your house?" My aunt took Allison to see one room after another.

Does Allison really want to visit the old house? No, he's looking for something! In the old woman's lifeless environment, he was looking for something with a breath of life.

Finally, on the windowsill of a room, he found a few pots of small African pansy-the only living plants in the room. My aunt said, "I have nothing to do. I just like to take care of these pots of little things, and this one is beginning to blossom."

Allison said, "Great!" Your flowers are so beautiful that they will certainly bring happiness to many people. Can you find out if any family in the city has a festive event, such as getting married, having children or a birthday, send them a pot of flowers, and they will be very happy. "

According to Ellison, my aunt really planted a lot of African pansy, which benefited almost everyone in the city. Needless to say, my aunt's life has changed a lot. the originally opaque old house has become sunny and full of bright purple flowers.

The once lonely aunt became the most popular person in the city. At the time of her death, the headline of the local newspaper reported: the whole city lost our queen of African pansy.

Almost the whole city went to mourning in return for her generosity.
