1 "The Girl who Sells Flowers"

The morning was so bright,

Rays of the sunshine penetrating through the thick tall trees..

In a small cottage far away from the village, a little deep into woods..

Annalise was humming joyfully, swaying the basket in her hand, half jumping and half running her way to the garden to pluck some flowers.

She was done picking the roses and moved to the lilies, still humming, she heard the voice of her grandma from behind her.

She dropped the basket and walked over to grandma who was sitting on a wheelchair, and bent to her eye level.

"Mama Emelda! How are you doing this morning hun?" She carrased her cheek a little and smiled..

"Annalise my child, I'm fine always. As long as you are with me.."

Annalise smiled and stood up to go pick her basket, she was heading to the market to sell the flowers.

"I'm off, goodbye.."

Annalise bade her grandma..

That's what she does for a living, selling flowers. The earnings isn't much, but Annalise and her grandma are both okay with it. Mama Emelda watched as Annalise sang her way into the woods.

It might be a little bit odd, living in the woods. A reason only Madam Emelda knows about, after the mysterious death of her daughter, she had taken her granddaughter with her to live in the woods.

Obviously far away from the main world.

But there's more to it..

Annalise was in the village now, everyone one was staring at her, which was already a normal thing.. She was so beautiful and bright, not only her beauty but her voice was so angelic..

She sings in a graceful manner, that makes most men in the village want to fall at her feet, people find it hard to hate her. After she sells her flowers, she proceeds to the village square to sing her heart out...

Her mesmerizing voice, at times earns her a sack of potatoes or money perharps.

"The girl who sells flowers is here!" A girl who had seen Annalise from the top of her house screamed..

They all came out to receive flowers from her..

"Good morning Annalise" A boy greeted Annalise from the Baker's Shop..

"Oh good morning Ethan!" Annalise replied..

She got to the entrance of a house to drop flowers, suddenly a man with rough beards came out..

"Oh pretty Annalise, good morning!"

"Ah morning Mister Rodriguez.. Your Daisies are here.."

"Thank you so much.."

Mister Rodriguez was practically drooling over Annalise..

Then his furious wife came out..

"Oh thanks for the flowers Annalise!" She said slightly gritting her teeth..

Annalise smiled and took her basket and left..

"Rodriguez what were doing the other time? Were you admiring Annalise you shameless man.."

"No no Sarah.. I was just.. hmm.." He was stammering, Sarah was getting irritated..

"Just shut up and get to work.."

Mister Rodriguez walked with his head down inside the house..
