Answer from Elena Novichenko[guru]
One day a small bird was flying and holding several sunflower seeds in its beak. She flew to feed her little chicks, but could not keep all the seeds in her beak and one fell into the ground. Here the seed lies and thinks: “How can this be? I grew up with my brothers and sisters as seeds in a big beautiful sunflower, and now I’m lying alone in the ground. Now I’m useless to anyone, I won’t see anything now, it’s good that at least the bird didn’t eat me.” He lies and is bored. It began to rain, watered the seed, and then the sun came out, warmed the seed, and it began to wonder what was going on up there. The seed reached up towards the sun, stretched, stretched and... a small green sprout appeared from underground. It was he who began to grow from our seed. The seed-sprout looked around, he liked it above the ground, the sun warms him, the breeze blows him. And the sprout began to grow upward. It grows, reaches out to the sun, the rain gives it water, the sprout is doing well. Soon our sprout turned into a stalk and every day it became taller and taller, new green leaves appeared on it. A few weeks later, a large yellow bud grew on the stem, the petals of the bud began to slowly bloom, and now beautiful flower The sunflower raised its head to the sky towards the sun. “Oh, what a beautiful sunflower I have turned into!” - thought the former little seed. Soon, many white-green seeds appeared inside the large flower; the seeds ripened and became black. The sunflower shook his head, smiled at the sun and thought: “How amazingly this world works! Just recently, my brothers and sisters and my sunflower seeds lived peacefully in a large, beautiful sunflower. A bird flew in, grabbed me in its beak, but couldn’t hold me and dropped me to the ground. Then I sprouted, turned into a sprout, then into a stem, grew, grew and became a big real yellow sunflower. Now I myself have a lot of small black seeds, which will soon scatter everywhere and big beautiful sunflowers will grow from them, looking like little suns.”
Big flower with yellow leaves called Sunflower. The flower was sleeping in the field, not paying attention to the fact that the Sun had long risen.
In the clearing, everyone was happy to see the warm rays of the sun. The acacia straightened its curls and held out small white buds to the Sun. Lush rose hips exposed orange berries to the sun's attention. Soft green grass ran across the field as it raced, raising its green eyelashes to the Sun. Even the plantain spread its large palms for solar heat. The sun could serenely enjoy the joy of this beautiful world nature, if not for one thing.
In the middle of the field stood a Sunflower, peacefully curling its yellow petals into a large bud.
Why is this flower still sleeping? - the Sun asked the Wind flying past.
“You should know this,” said the Wind, smiling.
To me? - the Sun was surprised.
Yes, exactly to you.
But why? - the Sun flared up in bewilderment.
Because the Sunflower is a flower that blooms only at the behest of the Sun itself. Think about its name - Sub-sunflower, the one under the Sun! - said the Wind.
Oh! - the Sun was surprised.
The wind has flown away. The sun began to shine over the field again. The Sun looked at the green, strong stem of the Sunflower and thought about the words of the Wind.
Let's try! - exclaimed the Sun, and began to tilt his face towards the flower. The closer the Sun descended to the Sunflower, the faster the yellow petals of the flower threw their wings in different directions.
And, lo and behold! The sunflower opened its petals and saw its reflection in the gentle smile of the Sun. The sun had never set so close before.
And what was his admiration when the Sun saw its own reflection in the opened Sunflower flower. Since then, every year, with the onset of summer, the Sunflower and the Sun waited to meet in order to look at each other exactly in the mirror.
The young stalk of the sunflower did not remember how it made its way through the ground as a thin sprout. Some powerful force pushed him to the surface, and now he is basking in the sun, admiring the huge and amazing world, where there is so much light, where it is so cozy and warm.
“We must grow, we must reach upward,” thinks little Sunflower, a little intoxicated by the hot sun rays. “Well, another centimeter closer to the light, again and again...”
And life is in full swing all around: colorful butterflies are fluttering, hardworking bees are buzzing merrily, flying from flower to flower, a grasshopper is singing its monotonous song in the grass, and a fluffy cat is snoring peacefully under a lilac bush.
What is this beautiful creature with transparent wings and huge eyes? It looks like a dragonfly. She easily lands on a neighboring flower and freezes in the sun.
- Hey there! How are you?
“Okay,” she replies. – I was in a meadow by the river, flying in a race.
-What is it like, a river?
“The water in it is clear and on a sunny day shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow.
“It must be beautiful,” the sunflower thinks and looks around: everything is rejoicing and enjoying the warmth and light!
The hostess appears. Now she will take a watering can, the earth will be filled with life-giving moisture, and all the plants will rush upward even more strongly.
So he grew, becoming taller and stronger. Its juicy bright green leaves spread powerfully to the sides, and its small red head was filled with seeds.
“Be like the sun, become like the sun,” as if someone inside him was repeating. And he stretched and stretched upward, bathing in the rays of sunlight and warmth.
But one day, when the clouds covered the sun, he lowered his head down. There, in the darkness, the rest of the plants, drooping, pale, huddled closely together against each other... The sunflower felt very sorry for them, and he decided to give them all the light, all the warmth that he had accumulated. It seemed that it was no longer the sun, but he, the sunflower, warming everyone around.
And then the wind parted the clouds, gentle rays fell to the ground again, and the darkness, like a snake, crawled under a high fence, because there was no place left for it on earth. The sunflower, along with the sun, gave love, and its yellow crown was visible from everywhere.
A brother and sister stopped nearby.
“Look,” said the girl, pointing to the sunflower, “little sun!”

I'll take you to the land of sunflowers,
To a country where clouds of smiles...
The roads are carved with traces of warm drops,
Rains that fly from high.
Where butterflies live in everyone's eyes
And the residents all went a little crazy,
Where they exist only holding hands,
Without letting go of each other for centuries.
I'll take you to the land of sunflowers
To a country where we will always be happy.
Where the cloud will be our home
Noticeable only to us from afar. author Lyubov Legkodimova
When someone says the word , you involuntarily smile. It's not for nothing that they called him that. The bright heads of the flowers seem to look with such surprise and delight from their height and rejoice at everything that is happening. And the yellow-orange rays of sunflower petals are wide open like large eyelashes. They reach up to the sun with such charm and interest.
The stem grows high, and in trembling tenderness everyone stretches and reaches out to the sun and dreams of merging with it. As soon as the first rays of the sun touch the sunflower petals, they timidly kiss. But then the sun kisses him so hotly that the sunflower, exhausted from this heat, lowers his head in thought. So unbearable... In the evening, the sunflower sees off the sun beyond the horizon, which bids it farewell with a crimson sunset, and in the morning again gently touches it with its rays.
Sunflower is very happy about the sun and again reaches out to it with all his love. But at noon the tender petals begin to burn again. This is too passionate and unbearable love. And so, this happens for many days...
Sunflower does not know the answer why the sun loves him so much, but every time it burns him with its hot rays. Tears of despair and resentment quietly roll down the tender petals.
Then the sunflower is filled with seeds, which are poured. It is now difficult for the sunflower to reach for the sun, and he simply looks around. And he notices that there are many little suns around him, just like him, who look at him in surprise. After all, they also loved the sun, but did not notice anyone nearby.
