Roses for Valentine's Day

Dedicated to Cecilia, who kindly support Story Nori on Patreon

Hello, this is Janna

And this is one of my favourite times of the year

Valentine's Day

Such a sweet season

Spring on the way here in England and a few snow drops pointing their pretty heads through the grass

And of course, February the 14th is marked the most romantic day of the year

So to celebrate, I'm here with two romantic fables by the ancient Greek writer Aesop

The first is called the Rose and the Butterfly

A butterfly wants to fell in love with a beautiful rose

And if the truth be told, the Rose rather fancied the butterfly

He was very handsome indeed

With wings pouted in a charming pattern of golden silver

And so when he fluttered near and told the Rose how he loved her

She blushed Rosalie and said she loved him back

For a while they were happy spending all their free time together

And never thought of anyone else

The butterfly would whisper sweet words of nothing in the rose's petals

And the rose replied

My, my, Mr Butterfly, I do declare your sweet words

Could charm the morning dew right off the honeysuckle
