This is a story about a boy and girl...
There was once a boy and girl. They met on a playground through common friends. Eventually they began to spend more time playing together and started to like each other very much. They would always play...on the playground, in the park, on the beach, and stuff themselves with burgers and fries at the nearest diner when they grew hungry later. They were happy, as any young boy and girl would be together. They would walk hand in hand and even their friends could see that they were inseparable.
One day, they decided to play hide and seek in a vast field of green and wildflowers. The girl closed her eyes and counted...1, 2, 3, 4, 5...while the boy went to find a place to hide. In his search for the best hiding spot the boy came across a squirrle rummaging in the grass. Sparked by interest the boy held out his hand to touch the squirrle as he had never seen one before. Alerted, the squirrle jumped and ran off. The boy chased after the squirrle until he got tired of running. He stopped at a large oak tree and when he looked up he saw a nest among the branches. Out of curiousity he determinedly climbed up the tree to see if there was a bird inside the nest. He discovered that the nest was filled with eggs. Delighted, he counted them one by one...1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
By this time the girl had been frantically searching for the boy and was becoming impatient as she couldn't find him. She called out his name, louder and louder but there came no response. She looked behind big rocks, tall trees, and bushes but he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly afraid and lonely she sat herself beside a tree, buried her face in her hands and started to weep. Her tears came in gasps. She felt lost and wished he would stop hiding. He had always loved playing hide & seek.
It began to grow dark and still the boy had not come out of hiding. The girl sat up and made up her mind to just walk back to where she had started counting as he might have already sneaked passed her and reached 'home.' He often liked to pull a fast one on her. But when she returned to 'home' he was not there. She decided to wait some more in the hopes that he would show up. An hour later, still no sign of him. But she wouldn't leave until she fell asleep on the grass.
She was awoken by the rustling of grass. She stood upright and there he was. He stood there with his hands behind his back and looking sad. 'I'm sorry' he said. 'I didn't mean to be gone so long. There were just so many interesting things out there and I couldn't resist.' She bowed her head in sorrow and a tear trickled down her cheek. 'It was so exciting that I lost track of time. I kept wanting to explore...more and more.'
'Then why did you come back?' the girl asked, forlorn.
'Because I found this.' He extended his hand and held out a pearl-white flower to her. 'There was so much around me...so many things I could see, touch, feel...and I was lost in the experience of it all...then in the midst of a withering brush was this white flower. And I found my way back home...'
