On a peaceful sunny morning, the sweet scent of fresh lotus flowers filled the house. Thuy had just returned from the local market, carrying a bundle of beautiful pink and white lotus blooms. Their delicate petals and long green stems made them the perfect decoration to bring peace and freshness into the home.
As Thuy placed the flowers on the table, little Lala came skipping in, her eyes lighting up with curiosity. The moment she saw the flowers, she clapped her hands in delight. “Do you want to help, Lala?” Thuy asked with a smile. Lala eagerly nodded and gently reached for a flower.
Though small, Lala handled the lotus with surprising care. She carefully handed each flower to Thuy, who trimmed the stems and placed them in a large porcelain vase. Lala watched closely, then began copying Thuy’s motions — gently plucking off extra leaves, adjusting the blossoms, and turning the vase ever so slightly to get the best angle.
Together, they arranged the lotus flowers in vases around the living room and at the front window. With each vase completed, Lala would step back proudly and admire their work, sometimes even giving a little clap of approval. Her favorite spot was near the window, where the sunlight made the petals glow softly.
The house was soon filled with a calm and elegant beauty, and it was all the more special because Lala had helped create it. Thuy looked at her with pride and gave her a loving hug. “You’re a great little helper, Lala.”
That day, Lala didn’t just learn about decorating — she learned the joy of creating beauty with love, care, and teamwork. The lotus blossoms weren’t the only things blooming that morning — so was Lala’s gentle spirit.
