Once upon a time, there was a lovely little girl in Japan. She lived in a peaceful small town. Her family was not wealthy but full of love. One day, on her way home, the little girl accidentally found a very special flower. This flower had seven petals of different colors, just like a rainbow falling on the flower. It was the seven - color flower. The little girl carefully held the seven - color flower in her hands, thinking that it must be a magical flower.
The little girl curiously picked off a petal, closed her eyes and began to make a wish. She wished that she could have a beautiful doll. When she opened her eyes, a brand - new doll appeared in front of her. The little girl was extremely happy. She jumped up and down while holding the doll. But before long, she felt that this doll was not so special either. She began to wonder what other magical powers this seven - color flower had.
The small town where the little girl lived encountered some difficulties. Her family's house became dilapidated. She saw her father and mother worrying about renovating the house, so she picked off another petal and wished that the house could become brand - new and beautiful. In an instant, the house took on a new look, and her father and mother were very surprised. The little girl was very happy to be able to help her family, but she gradually realized that although the house had become new, the laughter and warmth in the family had always been there. A new house did not necessarily mean more happiness.
The little girl had a good friend who was ill. When she went to the hospital to visit her friend, she saw her friend lying weakly on the hospital bed and felt very sorry for her. She picked off a petal and wished that her friend would get well soon. Soon, her friend's face became rosy and she became healthy. The little girl and her friend hugged happily, but she had some different thoughts in her heart. She realized that health was important, but the friendship between friends was the most precious and could not be fully possessed by magic.
The little girl picked off another petal and wished that she could have endless candies. Immediately, a wonderful place full of all kinds of candies appeared in front of her. At first, the little girl excitedly tasted various candies, but after a while, she felt that they were too sweet, and eating too many candies would also make her teeth ache. She began to miss the simple meals at home and the warm time of having dinner with her family.
The little girl thought that her home was a little small, so she picked off another petal and wished that she could have a very, very big house. Her home instantly became a huge house. But the house was too big. She felt very lonely in it alone. She began to miss the previous home which was small but full of laughter.
At this time, the little girl had only the last petal left. After so many wish - making experiences, she began to understand that true happiness could not be obtained by these magical wishes. She thought of her family, friends, and those ordinary but precious moments in life. Finally, she picked off the petal and wished that all people in the world could cherish the happiness they had. The petal floated into the air, as if carrying the little girl's wonderful wishes to every corner of the world. Since then, the little girl has learned to cherish the happiness around her and live happily with her family and friends.
