In the beginning, sunflowers were not called sunflowers and were just tiny flowers, even a little gray, that no one noticed.
\nIn the garden, they got lost among all the roses, which arrogantly flaunted their luxuriant beauty and bright colors. The roses said: "We are very important persons, just look at how we decorate the most special moments of people's lives!" Our parents were just as important and we have the most beautiful color on earth \u2013 red.\u201d

\nThe sunflowers shed their little gray flowers in the evening and they were very sad, because they neither decorated someone's beautiful moments, nor had a bewitching aroma, nor was their color something special and noticeable.
\nDuring one of these evenings the Butterfly Fairy happened to pass by. She saw them so sad and sat thoughtfully on the dewdrop on a green leaf.
\n-Why are you sad? she asked.
\n-Look at us, we are so small and inconspicuous that even the little ladybugs don't stop at us.<\/p>\n

The fairy was silent for a while and smiled:
\n-Yes, but I will give you something that other flowers do not have. From now on, you will be able to dream. And every dream of yours will make you bigger and more beautiful.
\nSaying these words, she flew past each of the small gray flowers and dusted it with golden butterfly dust.<\/p>\n

In the morning the Sun sent its rays to the flowers asking them to help an ant. She just had to climb them and see where her home was because she was lost.
\nRoses haughtily puffed up and showed their thorns - they did not communicate with such elementary creatures as ants.
\nThe violets also refused, worried that the ant wouldn't step on them and they wouldn't look so fine and delicate anymore.
\nOnly the sunflower looked up at the Sun and said:
\n- I will help her, let her climb on my stem.
\n- And you grabbed one of my rays - said the Sun.<\/p>\n

The sunflower stretched out its leaves and grabbed the sunbeam. In an instant its stem lengthened, the ant climbed up and saw where her home was.
\n- Thank you! she squealed happily.
\n"Please," replied the sunflower.
\n- I also dream of my own home, but alas - I don't have one, so I would like to help others find theirs.<\/p>\n

At noon, the Sun again turned to the flowers with a request:
\n- Look at this poor bird, it can no longer fly and will soon die of exhaustion. Can someone give her a seed of themselves?
\nThe rose answered:
\n"Oh, I've baked myself so well and my petals are so fragile and well-arranged right now that if you step on them, you'll crumple them..."
\nViolet quickly hid in some tall grass. Only the sunflower said:
\n"Let him come and take my only seed."<\/p>\n

And at that moment a miracle happened. His calyx opened and turned into a large pita full of seeds.
\nThe bird pecked several of them and before flying away spoke:
\n\u2013 You have a good heart! You dreamed of doing a little good, but now you can help many like me who are in trouble.
\n\u2013 How happy and helpful you made me feel! I also thank you.
\nThe sunflower did not stop helping throughout the day, guided by the words of the Sun. It was the same in the following days, and in the evening he dreamed. He dreamed to be useful, to be beautiful, to have his own home, to be loved and he to love. Sometimes even the sky shed tears, moved by these dreams.<\/p>\n

One fine morning the sunflower woke up and gasped. He was in a huge garden. Beside him stood the butterfly Fairy with a mirror in her hand.
\n- Look! - she whispered with a smile. - It's you.
\nFrom the mirror looked a beautiful flower, resembling the sun with beautiful yellow leaves like rays.
\n- And this will be your home - the field, because you deserve it.
\n\u2013 Just look at how big I am! \u2013 exclaimed the flower.
\n– Big as your dreams! \u2013<\/strong> replied the Fairy, and blowing him an air kiss, flew away.<\/p>\n
