Жил на свете маленький цветок. Рос он на сухой глине пустыря, среди старых, серых камней. Его жизнь началась с семечка, которое принёс на пустырь ветер. Ночью цветок собирал на своих листьях росу, чтобы напиться, а днём ловил принесённые ветром частички земли- это была его пища. Трудно было цветку, но он хотел жить и превозмогал терпением "свою боль от голода и усталости".
Летом цветок распустил жёлтый венчик ароматных лепестков и стал похож на звезду. Однажды мимо пустыря проходила девочка. Она жила в пионерском лагере и несла на почту письмо маме, по которой очень соскучилась. Др неё донёсся аромат цветка, и девочка подумала, что он тоже скучаеи по маме, только вместо слёз источает благоухание. Девочка осмотрела пустырь и поняла, как тяжело приходится цветку. На следущий день она привела на пустырь пионеров, которые удобрили землю.
Через год девочка пришла на пустырь и увидела, что он превратился в цветущий луг, усыпанный цветами-детьми первого цветка.
There was a small flower in the world. He grew on a dry clay waste ground, among old, gray stones. His life began with a seed that was brought to the wasteland by the wind. At night, the flower gathered dew on its leaves to drink, and in the daytime caught the fragments of the earth brought by the wind-it was his food. It was diffucult for the flower, but he wanted to live and prevailed with patience "his pain from hunger and fatigue".
In the summer the flower dissolved the yellow corolla of the fragrant petals and became like a star. One day a girl passed by the wasteland. She lived in a pioneer camp and carried a letter to her mom who missed her very much. She could hear the fragrance of the flower, and the girl thought that he too misses his mother, only instead of tears exudes a fragrance. The girl looked around the wasteland and realized how hard it was for the flower. The next day she led to the wasteland of pioneers who fertilized the land.
A year later, the girl came to the wasteland and saw that it had turned inro a blooming meadow, strewn with flowers-the children of the first flower.
