  The sun began rising above the horizon to shine its light over a small garden next to a small house. As birdsong rang through the air flowers bobbed in the breeze. Hedges were covered in tiny blossoms. Irises of many hues swayed with their delicate petals seeming to dance. In the center tulips stretched towards the sky. One stood out kind of awkwardly with oddly shaped petals and it’s hue a little off but it grew towards the sun all the same.

Near the tulips a single lily plant was growing. Any weed that had dared grow nearby had long since been removed. A ring of decorative stones surrounded it and not a single sickly leaf had been left attached to the plant. At the top a beautiful blossom hung. The petals were cracked allowing daylight through revealing that soon the flower would open.

From the house a door slammed and Lily bolted outside with a watering can in her jaws. She raced through the garden causing the other flowers to sway in her wake. She skidded to a stop next to the lily and set down the watering can. She checked the dampness of the soil and then added some water around the base. Then she settled down next to the plant to wait for the flower to open. When it opened she could see if she had completed her mission and grown the flower into the best lily that it could possibly be. The sun continued to shine down as she waited and Lily smiled happily as she felt the warmth on her coat and mane.
