Flower Fields
Once there was a girl named Haruhi Takahashi, who lived with her sick mother in a small shack on the coast of Japan. Haruhi and her mother had lived alone since her father went missing in China during a business trip. She done the washing, cleaning, cooking and tended to her mother all day long, she didn't mind working hard and she didn't mind missing out on school because her father had taught her well before disappearing.
One day while Haruhi was shopping in the local market, she found a book entitled “Flower Fields of Japan”. The inside of the book was spilling with every color in every shade on earth. She was so enchanted by the book and it’s never ending beauty that she brought it and showed her mother. As the two sat and looked at the pages of flower fields and read the text describing the fields and they’re whereabouts, Haruhi would dream of one day being able to see these flowers in all their beauty in front of her and to be able to smell their fragrance floating softly in the air. With these thoughts Haruhi stood and made a promise to her mother, “Mother, one day when I am older I will go to all these fields and pick bunches and bunches of flowers for you and just their smell alone will make you get better, and we will live in a house full of all the beauty flowers, I promise!...”.
Years passed by and every year Haruhi would dream of being in the flower fields in her book, day by day she would imagine what they would smell like and what they would feel like and without failure she would be able to escape into a world of beauty she created through her dreams and through her book. Haruhi was now getting older and soon she would have to leave home and her mother to start her own family. She knew she wouldn't be able to see the flower fields if she got married, so she decided to set off in search of them.
Haruhi left her mother in the care of a family friend and set off on her journey across Japan to find and gather the bouquets of flowers for her mother. Haruhi was gone for almost three years and returned home to hear the news her mother had passed away in her absence and was buried in the hills of the countryside. Haruhi went to her mother’s grave carrying all the flowers she had gathered and cleaned her grave site, she placed all the flowers around her tomb stone so in such a way that it looked like a sea of flowers floating around the large slab of stone.
Every year Haruhi visited her mother bring her flowers and after time the flowers began to grow around the tomb stone and by the time Haruhi had children the whole hill side had turned into a beauty flower field.
