A mother had two children. They lived in poverty but they were there for each other every day. The mother would send her youngest child to the forest to fetch wood. One day the poor little girl was so exhausted that she almost could not pick up the wood. Then suddenly another child appeared and helped the little girl. The same thing happened a few times but the mother would not believe her daughter. Then the mysterious girl gave the child a beautiful rose. One morning the rose was in full bloom. But what had happened? Find out in "The Rose".
