In a garden full of flowers of every color, there lived a tiny little bee called Mel, with yellow and black stripes and see-through wings that sparkled in the sunshine. Every morning when she woke up, Mel would look out at the garden and whisper, "Subhanallah, how beautiful Allah's creation is."
Every morning, Mel flew from flower to flower looking for sweet nectar. There were white daisies, red tulips and blue bluebells, but none of them made her stop for very long.
One day, while buzzing among the rosebushes, Mel saw something that took her breath away: an enormous flower with pink and purple petals, shining as if it had tiny drops of light in its golden centre. "Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for creating something so beautiful," she thought in wonder.
Mel flew closer, bit by bit, her heart beating with excitement. "I've never seen such a beautiful flower," she thought, fluttering around its petals, soft as velvet.
"Hello, little bee," whispered the flower in a sweet little voice. "My name is Rosalinda. Would you like to try my nectar?" Mel nodded happily and landed carefully on one of her pink petals.
Rosalinda's nectar was the most delicious Mel had ever tasted, sweet as honey and fresh as morning dew. "Thank you for sharing your sweetness with me," buzzed Mel gratefully.
From that day on, Mel visited Rosalinda every morning, and while she drank her nectar, she helped her by carrying her golden pollen to other flowers in the garden so they could grow strong and beautiful too.
As evening fell, with the sky painting itself orange, Mel flew back to her warm hive. She thought of Rosalinda and whispered: "Alhamdulillah for such a beautiful day and for all the flowers that Allah put in my path." And so, happy and grateful, she fell asleep dreaming of pink petals. The End. 🐝🌸
