Why Don’t You Flower?

 Sometimes we would really like something to happen, but we do not see the bigger picture. That is exactly what happens to the bear in this story: He rises to the challenge, does not despair, and continues to try helping his plant in various creative ways. In the meantime, we, readers, discover that another amusing story is hiding underground and that, as often happens in life, we each have a different viewpoint, experience, and story to tell.

Things that you see from there – can’t be seen from here
