The legend of dogtail grass

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and peaceful country called Rosewood, which got its name because it was rich in purple sandalwood, and some people said that it was because a fairy dressed in purple came here and took away some sandalwood. That's why it got its name. However, whatever the reason, sandalwood is attentive, so everything here is more or less spiritual.

The surnames of people in rosewood are all related to color, and no one will say it, even if it is strange, but there is an unwritten rule in this country: only royalty can have the surname purple.

The king of the rosewood country was called Zi ran, and the queen was originally a civilian, called Lan Xun, but later changed her name to Zi Xun. The king and queen have a son named Zi Liao. Although the only son is not extremely handsome, he has a good heart and inborn melancholy. The prince has a big garden, which is full of strange flowers and plants from all over the place. He walks into the garden as if he were in nature.

The most pleasant thing for the little prince is to walk in the garden and watch the flowers in spring. In summer, I put up a curtain in the garden, put up a bed, sleep in the garden and watch the stars at night. Autumn walks in the garden, sighing with sadness. Watch the snow in the garden in winter. The king and queen knew that the prince loved his garden very much, so they told their servants to remove all the weeds in the garden in early spring, leaving only the prince's flowers blooming in the garden all the year round. Of course, the prince never knew, and the prince had never seen grass.

But in this early spring, things took a turn. Early that morning, the prince was walking along the garden path. Under a white rose, the prince found a small dogtail grass. The little prince was curious because he had never seen the grass, so the prince called the maid and the gardener. The gardener and the maid thought the prince would blame them for not clearing the grass, so the gardener hurriedly pulled the dogtail grass. The prince grabbed the gardener's hand and signaled him not to do so, and showed great interest in the grass. From time to time, the gardener and the handmaid breathed a sigh of relief when they asked the gardener about the grass. Since the dogtail grass was already the only grass in the big garden, the prince told the gardener not to clean it up and let it fend for itself.

However, no one knows that this grass is a dog's tail grass with thought and spirituality. It just can't make a sound or move.

The prince came to the garden for a walk every day as usual. When he passed by the dogtail grass, the prince would stop for a while, watching and thinking affectionately. The poor dogtail grass thought the prince was looking at it, so he was in love with the prince, but the little grass did not know it. The prince had forgotten its existence long after he had slept, and the prince only looked at the white rose sent by the princess of the neighboring country in front of him. The little grass looked at the prince's face every day and fell in love with the prince. Although he could not speak, he was very happy to be able to watch the prince silently.

As the days went by, autumn was coming, the garden was desolate, the tall sycamore began to shed its leaves, the birch began to wither, and the days of dogtail grass were numbered. Plants are doomed to die before winter, which is the law of nature and the destiny of heaven. However, the dog tail grass refused to die like this, it likes the prince. He didn't want to die, either. He was afraid that the prince would be sad. However, all this is only its wishful thinking, but its beautiful dream, the prince never remembers it, but all this dogtail grass does not know. So the grass decided to fight against fate, for his dream, against heaven and nature in order to see the prince every day. It wants to live regardless of the four seasons!

Throughout the autumn, dogtail grass endured pain and lived under the oppression of the autumn wind. finally, autumn passed, and the whole garden was finally left with only the remnants of chrysanthemums and description of skinny dogtail grass. Immediately, winter came again, and only plum blossoms and weak dogtail grass were left in the garden. The prince came to the garden every day as usual, but what attracted him was only the cold plum of proud snow, not the dying dogtail grass, but it was the prince's smile and frown that kept the grass alive under the destruction of the fierce wind and snow. Sometimes the snow is too heavy for the prince to go out, and the little grass tries to get out of the snow just to get a glimpse of the prince's palace.

Winter finally passed in the blood and tears of the grass, and the dog tail grass faced one spring, summer, autumn and winter again with full spirit.

I do not know a few years later, the little prince has grown up, dogtail grass is no longer the original small grass, but the same is still the grass's love for the prince.

Winter came again. After a Lesser Snow, there was no plum blossom in the garden, and there was only green dogtail grass left in the lonely garden. The grass suddenly felt that this winter was colder than the previous winter.

The snow melted and the garden became lively again, but people were lively, and spring did not come. Hundreds of maids, guards with ribbons and red silk, decorated the garden, and the lonely garden became lively, but people were too happy to notice that there was a green dogtail grass on the roadside where they had just laid.

Dogtail grass is very curious, do not know why people are so happy, but intuition told it that something is going to happen, grass suddenly panicked for the first time, grass is surprised, because he has no heart, but just now he did feel flustered. Dogtail grass does not know that it is an alien among all plants, because not only does it have thought and spirituality, but more importantly, there is a very small blue dot in the center of its ear, that is, the heart of dogtail grass, because with a heart, dogtail grass has feelings and independent thoughts.

Eight days later, in the early morning of that day, there was no one in the garden, and the garden had long been decorated like heaven. As time went by, the dogtail grass panicked again, and the little heart beat slowly. At noon, Lesser Snow floated in the sky, and the dog tail grass was surprised to find that the snowflake was a touch of purple, but the color was so light that only tiny creatures could see it. Many strangers dressed in gorgeous clothes continued to come in the garden, and towards evening, when the music played, the nobles put down their things and looked at the end of the road.

The snowflake was still floating, and the dog's tail grass saw the prince, and he looked happier than any other day, but beside the prince, there was a girl who looked like a fairy holding the prince's arm and smiling, "what beautiful clothes they are wearing." like... " While sighing silently, the dog tail grass suddenly realized that it was at the prince's wedding and that the girl was the prince's bride.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the prince and his bride, the princess of a neighboring country who sent him white roses, are walking on the red carpet path, getting closer and closer to the dogtail grass on the side of the road. and dogtail grass also gradually really realized: I am just a small dogtail grass, ordinary, I should not deluge to like the prince, after all, he is human, the prince's companion will only be a princess in the end. Then all I can do is bless them. Why is it so cold this winter? I can't seem to stand it. Dog tail grass suddenly felt more cold than ever before, yes, it used to rely on the love of the prince to resist the cold, but now, the protection has been lost, dog tail grass has only the only consciousness.

The prince and the princess stopped beside the dogtail grass, this time it was the princess's wish, "Purple talk, look!" It must be God's blessing for us to have dogtail grass to survive in winter. " The princess was very surprised, and the prince said suspiciously, "it seems that a small dogtail grass grew here in the garden a few years ago. I don't know what happened to it, maybe it's already dead." "then, can you weave this dogtail grass into a ring for me? It seems quite chic. " "of course! A dogtail grass can make you happy, which is its pride! " With that, the prince went to pick dogtail grass.

At this time, with a slight sound of "bang", the blue heart of dogtail grass broke, "my prince?" I am the old grass! Don't you ever remember me? Purple somniloquy, it seems that all this is really just my purple somniloquy! My last wish is. The prince pulled up the dogtail grass, and the life of dogtail grass came to an end at this moment, and even his last wish, "I hope the prince can be happy," was not silently blessed, and the life of dogtail grass came to an end.

That night, the princess completed her wedding with a ring made of dogtail grass by the prince, and until the prince died, the prince did not know that the dream of a dogtail grass that had silently loved him had been ended by him, and the ring was withered, but it was buried in the princess's grave, because the ring was compiled by the prince himself at the wedding of the prince and the princess.
