~THE DOVE AND THE WHITE ROSE~ In a garden full of life, a white rose stands still; With the

most precious petals, shimering on a lonely hill. A dove who lives not a far, fell in love with the white rose. He admires her rain or shine, true love, no boast. And one day he flew, and confested his love. "White rose" it said " I love you."; a sincere intention from a dove. But the conceited rose thinks, too proud of herself; and won't accept his ardor, she only prefers the best. Though he was sadden, the dove did not give up. "I'll give you anything.." it said; "whatever you want." The white rose thought for a moment, and finally said; "I might accept your love, if you can make me shine in red." ............ *The question now is this, what did the dove do? How did he make the white rose shine into a scarlet hue? ............ This is how: the dove flew above the rose and deeply cut itself. And soon the blood began to flow, turning the white rose red. "I love you." the bird muttered, while heaving to its death. And thus ends the story of a dove and a white rose who wished to be red. ~ i've learned something from it, i hope you did too. :D ~ceanji
