"The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly."
-William Wordsworth
This is similar to the mockingbird story. When all of the princes heard the beautiful song, they thought it came from the beautiful bird. In reality, it came from the little brown bird. The sweetest flowers are also the ones that aren't as pretty, even though all things have a beauty of their own. Tulips, daffodils, violets, and all of those big colorful famous flowers don't actually smell good. Sometimes they don't smell at all! The flowers that smell nice are the small unnoticed ones. If you are a bold person, then be bold. Don't get me wrong... But the shyer and lowlier people are usually the sweetest.
But don't forget, just be who you are. Don't change yourself for the sake of others! The pretty flowers can smell nice, too! Like roses. Roses can smell really nice. So be yourself. If you are a big flower, be a rose. If you are a small flower, then that's great too!
