The flowers were in bloom again and the bees heavy with pollen. The aphids sucked on the tender pulp of the growing groundcover and became plump. The sound of a frog in the slow creek bed echoed near by. One seed fell on the grave where the lizard lay. It took root, then grew very quickly. One day the maiden visited the grave. Her eyes widened at the large gourd plant. She tapped on the plumper gourd and then it split open. Out fell a scaled creature the size of a man with golden eyes. The maiden gasped in surprise and wrapped him up in her long coat. She took him home, were he ate all the fruits and scared the daylights out of the cats. He had the past memories and slowly wooed the maiden over time.
