One day, they would sneak in and play when their parents were not paying attention, and they would not rush back until God wanted to close the gate of heaven.

At first, these flowers were very welcome. Those who played inside were very happy to get along with each other. But as time went by, they let their hands and feet run wild in the garden. The flowers and plants were trampled so that they could not grow normally, and they were very angry.

One day, he deliberately killed them when they were not paying attention. They stumbled and hid their slippers disguised as flower petals.
