A butterfly wants to find a lover. Naturally, he wants to find a lovely little lover among the flowers. So he looked at all of them. Every flower sits quietly and dignified on the stem, just like a girl sitting when she is not engaged. But there are too many to choose. The butterfly didn't want any trouble, so it flew to the daisy. The French call this little flower "Margarita". They know she can make predictions. She did this: lovers picked her petals together, and each time they picked one, they asked a question about lovers: "Are you enthusiastic? -Does it hurt? -Do you love me? Just a little? -Not at all? " Things like that. Everyone can ask questions in their own language. Butterflies also come to ask; But instead of picking petals, he kissed each one. Because he thinks that only kindness can get the best answer.

(1) The original text is "Margaret", which means "daisy"; Many women in Europe and America use this word as their names.

"Dear' Margarita' Daisy!" He said, "You are the cleverest woman among all the flowers. You can make predictions! I beg you to tell me, should I marry this or that? Which one will I get? If I know, I can fly directly to her and propose to her. "

But Margo didn't answer him. She is angry because she is only a girl, but he has called her a "woman"; There is a difference. He asked the second time, the third time. When he couldn't get a word from her, he was no longer willing to ask. He flew away and immediately began his suggestion.

It's early spring, and crocuses and snowflakes are in full bloom.

"They are very beautiful," said the butterfly. "They are just a group of lovely little girls in" Seeds of Love ",but they are too ignorant." Like all young boys, he is looking for older women.

So he flew to the autumn peony. According to his appetite, these girls are a little bitter. Violets are a little too enthusiastic; Tulips are too gorgeous; Daffodils are too civilian; Bodhi trees have too small flowers and too many relatives. Apple trees look like roses, but they bloom today and will wither tomorrow ―― as long as the wind blows, they will fall down. He doesn't think marrying them will last long. The pea flower is the cutest: it is red and white, elegant and gentle. She is a woman with strong family values. She has a beautiful appearance and a capable kitchen. When he was about to propose to her, he saw a pod near the flower-a withered flower hung on the tip of the pod.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"This is my sister," said Pea Flower.

"Darling! Then you will be like her in the future! " He said.

This surprised the butterfly, so he flew away.

Lonicera japonica hangs on the fence. There are many women like her; It's all flat and yellow. No, he doesn't like this type of woman.

But who does he really like? Ask him!

Spring has passed and summer is coming to an end. It's autumn now, but he still hesitates.

Now all the flowers are wearing their most gorgeous clothes, but what's the use-they have lost the fresh fragrance of youth. When people are old, they like incense in their hearts. Especially between Tianzhu peony and dried chrysanthemum, the fragrance is gone. So the butterfly flew to the mint growing on the ground.

"It can be said that she has no flowers, but she is covered with flowers. She smells from head to toe, and even every leaf smells of flowers. I asked her! "

So he proposed to her.

Mint stood upright and said nothing. Finally she said:

"It is ok to make friends, but nothing else. I am old, you are old, we can take care of each other, but getting married-that's no good! Don't make fun of yourself at our age! "

In this way, the butterfly has no chance to find a wife. It's not a good idea to let him choose for too long. As a result, the butterfly became what everyone called an old bachelor.

It's late autumn, and it's rainy and gloomy. The wind blew cold air on the back of the old willow trees, making them make a whizzing noise. It's not good if you still wear summer clothes, because, as everyone says, you will be criticized. Indeed, butterflies are not flying around outside. He slipped into a room by accident. There is a fire in the stove here, which is as warm as summer. He can live a good life, but "just living is not enough!" " He said, "One should have freedom, sunshine and a little flower!" " "

He flew against the window pane, was seen and appreciated, then put on a needle and hid in an antique box. This is the sign that people admire him most.

"Now I am perched on a rhizome like a flower," said the butterfly. "It's really not very pleasant. This is similar to getting married, because I am now firmly fixed. "

He consoled himself with this idea.

"This is a poor comfort," said the potted flower in the house.

"But," thought the butterfly, "people should not believe what the flowers in these flowerpots say. They are too close to humans. " (186 1 year)

This article was published in the Danish Public Yearbook 186 1 published in Copenhagen. Full of humor, it is worth pondering, especially for those who are about to enter the "bachelor" situation. The last sentence is also quite interesting: "one should not believe the flowers in these flowerpots." They are too close to humans. "
