Sunflowers are known as a symbol of summer. Their large yellow petals shine like the sun, giving energy to those who see them. Hanako, a girl who lived in a small village in the countryside, looked forward to going to a nearby sunflower field every summer.
One day, Hanako received sunflower seeds from an old man at a village festival. Hanako was told, "If you take good care of these seeds, happiness will come to you." So she immediately planted the seeds in her garden. Every day, she got up early in the morning to water them and take good care of them.
A few weeks later, beautiful sunflowers began to bloom in Hanako's garden. The flowers were very large, and the yellow petals shone even more brightly in the sunlight. Hanako was struck by their beauty, and felt happy every time she saw a sunflower.
