Lily was too young to either comprehend or inherit this unique ability, but she loved her granny's captivating tales about communicating with plants and their world.
One day, a significant turn of events occurred when a corporate shark decided to demolish their little garden house for a new building project. The news found its way to Martha and Lily as an eviction notice. The old woman was devastated but put on a brave front for little Lily.
The news of their impending displacement reached the plants, which prompted an unusual hustle and stir in the garden. Only Martha could fathom that the plants, especially the roses, were distressed. They communed with Martha, expressing their worry about the harsh outside world they had never experienced. The roses pleaded to perform one last dance for her, an honor reserved for those the flowers held in high regard, dating back to ancient times.
Intrigued, Lily asked about this dance, prompting Martha to narrate the legend of 'The Dance of The Roses'. It was an enchanting performance, promised only to the worthiest individual. It was said to be magnificent, wherein roses would sway together in a harmonious rhythm, their petals shimmering in an array of rainbow colors, truly encapsulating the observer's heart with their euphoric fragrance and visual delight.
The next day, the eviction officers arrived. There were discussions, debates, threats, but the final verdict remained unchanged; they had to vacate their modest abode.
Later that evening, after a somber day, Martha took Lily's hand, leading her to the garden. With a graceful gesture, Martha beckoned the roses, their last dance had begun. Oddly, the wind began swirling around the roses, creating a symphony in the quiet night. The roses seemed to come alive, swaying rhythmically as if performing a ballet, their petals overshadowing the moon, glowing enchantingly in various shades.
The sight was tremendously bewitching. Lily, filled with marvel, watched as sparkled petals twirled and swirled, creating a spectacle of beauty and grace. The roses danced, singing songs of ancient times, their fragrance layering the air with an intoxicating scentscape.
