這個美麗的故事流傳在美洲印第安土著中已近200年了，一朵荒漠中的小花，不是為了自己的艷麗，而執著于點綴這個世界的一角……

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking It was growing by itself enjoying every day and saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little" She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.

遍地干旱、滿目悲涼的沙漠中有朵小花，她獨自生長在那里，享受著每一天……她問太陽公公“我什么時候才能長大?”太陽公公總是說“要有耐心-- 我每次撫摸你，你都會長大一點……”小花好開心啊，因為她也有機會為沙漠的一隅增添美麗了……這是她畢生的心愿-- 為這個世界增添一絲美麗。

One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

一天，一位獵人經過--正好踩在她身上―― 她快要死了-- 她感到如此悲傷。并不是因為她即將死去，而是因為再沒有機會為沙漠增添一絲美麗了。

The great spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said She should be living And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.

偉大的精神看到了她，并且聽到了她的心里話。……事實上，他在說……她應該活著……他俯下身，撫摸著她-- 給了她生命。

And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

她長成一朵美麗的花……由于她的存在，這沙漠的一隅變得如此美麗。
