But at that instant it remembered what the 

 other flower used to say; and it said to itself, "It's 

 all right; I will be what I can." And thereon it 

 yielded to the wind, drooped its head to the earth, 

 and looked no more on the sky, but on the snow. 

 And straightway the wind stopped, and the cold 

 died away, and the snow sparkled like pearls and 

 diamonds; and the flower knew that it was the 

 holding of its head up that had hurt it so; for that 

 its body came of the snow, and that its name was 

 Snowdrop. And so it said once more, "It's all 

 right! " and waited in perfect peace. All the rest it 

 needed was to hang its head after its nature. 



From "David Elginbrod" by George Macdonald.
