The Garden That Chose Its Gardeners
Page 1
Deep in the forest, a hidden garden whispered its name.
Legend said the garden could speak and choose its caretakers.
Little Maya, curious and brave, heard the whisper while wandering.
She followed the soft glow and found a path lined with silver leaves.
At the garden’s heart, a stone gate creaked open, greeting her.
在森林深处，有一片被隐藏的花园轻声呼唤它的名字。
传说这花园会说话，并挑选自己的照料者。
好奇又勇敢的小玛雅在漫步时听到了这一低语。
她跟随着柔和的光芒，走进了银色叶子铺成的小径。
在花园的中心，一扇石门吱呀开启，向她问候。

Inside, flowers sang in colors not seen in daylight.
The trees swayed and murmured their secret songs.
Maya felt a gentle tug in her heart, as if the garden knew.
Suddenly, a gentle wind lifted her hair and carried a tiny note.
The note read: "If your love is true, you may stay."
里面，花儿在日光未至时以奇异的色彩歌唱。
树木轻摇，低声吟唱它们的秘密之歌。
玛雅感受到一股温柔的牵引，好像花园已经在了解她。
忽然，一阵柔风提升了她的发丝，吹来一张小纸条。
纸条上写着："若你真心相爱，你可以留下。"

She nodded shyly, wondering what true love meant.
A kind rabbit hopped forward, offering a carrot plush.
Maya accepted, feeling the garden’s warmth grow inside her.
The garden bloomed brighter, its flowers humming a grateful tune.
From that day, she promised to water, nurture, and protect.
她害羞地点头，好奇真正的爱意味着什么。
一只善良的兔子蹦过去，递给她一块毛绒胡萝卜。
玛雅接受，感受到花园的温暖在她心中蔓延。
花园亮得更明亮，花儿发出了感恩的调曲。
从此，她向花园发誓要浇水、耕耘并守护。

Night fell, and fireflies danced like stars on earth.
She sang softly, and the garden answered with petals shimmering.
Each sunrise brought new blossoms, each rain made the soil richer.
Parents and friends heard of the mysterious garden and visited.
They all shared stories, learning kindness from every leaf.
夜幕降临，萤火虫像星星在地上起舞。
她轻声歌唱，花园以闪烁的花瓣作回应。
每个日出带来新的绽放，每场雨让土壤更肥沃。
父母和朋友听闻这神秘花园，纷纷前来探访。
他们分享故事，学会从每片叶子中汲取善良。

Time passed, and the garden’s secret kept growing deeper.
Maya grew too, becoming wise as the ancient oak.
She taught the next curious child to listen to the earth.
The garden always listened, choosing those with open hearts.
Even though the path was hidden, it was open to those who cared.
时间流逝，花园的秘密愈发深沉。
玛雅也长大，变得像古老橡木般睿智。
她教导下一位好奇的孩子倾听大地的声音。
花园总是倾听，挑选内心敞开的好人。
即便小径被隐藏，它仍向关心的人敞开。

The legend lives on in every child’s imagination.
The garden remains a place where kindness is rewarded.
Whenever a child enters, the garden whispers its name anew.
It invites everyone to become a gardener, if they love nature.
And so the garden that chose its gardeners keeps blooming forever.
传说在每个孩子的想象中永存。
花园仍是善良被奖励的地方。
每当孩子踏入，花园会再次低语它的名字。
它邀请每个人成为园丁，只要他们爱自然。
于是，那挑选自己种植者的花园永远盛开.
