The Whispering Messenger

Long, long time ago there was a fragrant flower that rose every spring to display her beautiful petals and bright colours for all the world's creatures to enjoy.
The people and animals waited anxiously each spring for this special flower to appear.
On that day they knew the warm, kind rays of summer had arrived.
Raven saw how much joy this flower brought to the world, so the next spring when it appeared, he transformed it into a tiny bird.
The bird had the colours of the green spring grass and the flashing red of a setting sun.
Raven gave the bird a special gift - to fly like sunlight flickering through tall trees.
He also gave it a message to take to all the flowers.


That's why today we see Hummingbird buzzing from flower to flower, whispering a message. Hummingbird is thanking each flower for making our world a more beautiful place.

As you grow up, remember that like each flower, each person has gifts to give the world. In return that person will be thanked by the birds, animals and flowers for helping to make our world a better place for every one.

So i thank you again, my whispering messenger.
