NARRATOR: When plants started to grow on earth, many flowers also appeared. There were roses, dahlias, tulips, and a small yellow flower. One day all the flowers decided that the red rose would be the queen of all flowers because of her beauty and because she could grant wishes. They had a big partyto crown their queen and each flower made a wish. Some wished to smell pretty; others wanted to have brilliant colors, and the small yellow flower asked to be the biggest of all the flowers. The red flower granted all the wishes, and that´s how the yellow flower grew, and grew, and grew. She grew so much that she couldn´t stand straight. The yellow flower then understood that she had to live bending on herself. She was so sad and decided to ask the sun for help. One day when the sun was shining up in the sky, he listened to someone call him from the earth. YELLOW FLOWER: Mr. Sun, can you help me straighten up? SUN: Why? You can´t keep yourself straight? YELLOW FLOWER: Once when the red rose granted wishes, I asked to be the biggest flower of all. I never thought that I wasn´t going to be able to stand straight like the other flowers. SUN: I think you learned your lesson. Sometimes we ask for wishes without thinking of the consequences. The only thing that I can do, is make you strong when I shine high in the sky. My sunshine will keep you straight. YELLOW FLOWER: Thank you Mr. Sun! I will always follow you. Wherever you go, I will go. NARRATOR: From that day the yellow flower always follows the sun. She turns herself to receive his sunshine. For that reason, the other flowers decided to call her ¨Sunflower¨.

Buddha: What a lovely, sunny day it is for a walk.

(Suddenly, an angry man runs towards him, waving his fists.)

Angry Man: Who do you think you are?

Buddha: Whatever is the matter?

Angry Man: You that’s what is the matter, you walk around, thinking you know everything to teach goodness and love. You are just a fake, silly man in an orange robe.

Buddha: Come sit with me. (He guides towards a tree and they sit in the shade.)

Angry Man: (confused)

Why are you not angry with my insult?

Buddha: I’ve a question for you.

Angry Man: What?

Buddha: If you buy a present for someone and that person doesn’t want it then whom does the present belong to?

Angry Man: What a strange question. Me, of course, I bought the present.

Buddha: That’s right and it's exactly the same with your anger.

Angry Man: That makes no sense.

Buddha: It’s very clear, if you become angry with me and I do not accept your anger then it falls back on you and all you succeed in doing is hurt yourself more.

Angry Man: What should I do?

Buddha: Rid yourself of your anger and become a more a loving person.

Angry Man: I will try. Thank you for teaching me this lesson. (They hug and wave goodbye to one another.)

So, one sunny day in August, we got all our camping equipment- a tent, sleeping bags and a stove to keep us warm- and drove to mountains. When we got there, it was still sunny, but it was also very very windy.Dad wanted to put the tent up, so mum and I went for a short walk. It was really very beautiful. There was a lake with clear blue water, and deer in the trees. The deer were very peaceful, eating the grass.
