Once upon a time there was a very demanding little bee. I dreamed of the idea of making the tastiest and most special honey in the world. Despite the opinion of her hive mates, who thought her crazy, she went out in search of a flower that would provide her with nectar never seen before, capable of producing that unusual honey.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find anything but ordinary flowers, all of them very beautiful, but not satisfying his desire.
I often saw her return to the hive after sunset, disillusioned that she hadn't gotten a single drop of that illusory nectar. Her companions did not miss the opportunity to laugh at her.
One summer afternoon, the little bee returned to the hive very happy.
"I finally found the flower I was looking for!" she announced excitedly.
In disbelief, they asked him which flower it was and our little bee pointed to the sunset. Just imagine the jokes the poor dreamer was made of.
In a sea of tears, he went to hide behind a rock. There he spent several hours. Suddenly, a curious lizard approached her, asking her what was going on. After hearing what the little bee had to say, the nice reptile replied:
"See those hills golden by the sun?" Behind them you will find a valley full of wonderful flowers, whose nectar will serve your purposes.
The little bee left quickly and flew for hours in the middle of the night, until, at dawn, he witnessed an incredible scene. A whole sea of multicolored flowers swayed in the morning wind, in an unforgettable spectacle.
With the nectar of such flowers, the demanding bee was able to make the most delicious honey that had ever existed.
