Strong together with consideration: how it works in everyday life!

Strong together with consideration: a story from the Neflental valley

In the Neflental valley, the time of the flower vigil was dawning. A fine mist lay on the valley floor, enveloping the periwinkle fern meadows like a soft veil. Pastel pink and pearly white cherry blossoms carefully opened their delicate petals, while fine cobwebs glistened between the fern stalks in the dawn. Between the moss-covered trees, a few small mythical creatures quietly hopped about and watched the inhabitants of the fern meadows.

Together on the fern meadows of Immergrün

Many periwinkles were hard at work. They wanted to prepare Immergrün's fern meadows for the big flower festival. Colourful ribbons were strung everywhere and small tables were set up between the fern houses. They were also working on John Immergrün's house. From his roof terrace, you could see the glistening lake of the Flossians, which shone particularly beautifully in the morning light today.

Everyone helped. But sometimes the evergreens didn't realise how important it is to be considerate. One ran through the damp cobwebs, another accidentally snapped one of the delicate cherry blossoms. Some mythical creatures retreated into the shadows, terrified of being overlooked.

Rosa Immergrün has an idea

Then Rosa Periwinkle came running through the fern meadows. She saw that some of her friends were getting tired and others were getting annoyed. So she stopped in the middle of the meadow and shouted: "Let's slow down! Only if we look out for each other can we celebrate the flower festival properly." The periwinkles looked at each other and nodded. They noticed that someone was sad because their favourite flower had been broken.

Together, they first collected the flowers from the paths so as not to trample any more. The mythical creatures came closer and helped to shake the dewdrops off the ribbons. Some of the evergreens took a step to the side to make it easier for the smaller ones to reach the decorations.

The party succeeds with consideration

After a while, the houses of the periwinkles shone in the pastel pink of the cherry blossoms and the lilac of the violets. The meadows were decorated without anyone forgetting the importance of consideration. One helped the other. Someone fetched water, another handed them something to eat. They laughed together and everyone felt good. This made the flower vigil special for everyone.

As the sun rose higher, everyone sat down on the roof terrace of John Periwinkle's house. From there, they could see the glittering lake, now sparkling in emerald green and pearly white. The mythical creatures waved back shyly. They all laughed and were proud. Because they had shown that, with consideration, you can be strong together and celebrate the flower festival in a particularly beautiful way.

What do we learn from this?

Things work better in everyday life when we look out for each other. It's fun when everyone helps and nobody is forgotten. We are strong together when we are friendly and listen to each other. This makes every task easier. And every celebration is wonderful - like in the Neflental at the Blütenwacht.
