I hadnt written a short story for English for my animation. I had just used an idea I had in my head. but here is the summary of what happens in the animation.

 

One Little Flower

There was once one little flower.  It had pink petals and a yellow center.  It used to be the prettiest flower in the whole field but there hadn’t been some rain for a long time and all the other flowers had died.  This flower was the only flower left and if it didn’t rain soon, she would die as well.  She was in poor shape and she only had three petals left. 


Then one day the skies broke open and it began to rain.  The flower rejoiced in the rain and soon she became healthy again.  It continued to rain for days and days.  Then those days turned in to months.  There was so much rain the flower began to drown.  The violent waves of the water uprooted the little flower and carried it away.  It carried her for miles and miles and finally washed her up on to the shore. 


The poor flower was hurting very badly and was dying.  A man that was sitting on the shore with his guitar saw the poor flower and picked her up.  He dug a hole with his hands and gingerly placed the flower in the ground and covered her up with dirt.  The flower lay there lifeless on the ground and the man walked away with no hope for the flower. 


He picked up his guitar and started to play.  Hearing the sound, the flower perked up.  As the music filled the air she grew stronger and stronger.  Soon she was as good as new and healthy as could be.  The man saw this and continued to play music. And everyone was very happy.
