2. What is the legend of the bird of paradise?
A boy and a girl loved each other very much. The boy liked to travel around the world taking photographs, and the girl liked to grow flowers at home. Wherever the boy went, he would bring local flower seeds back to the girl. The girl liked the bird of paradise best, so no matter where the boy went, every year when the bird of paradise bloomed, the boy would come home to watch the flowers with the girl.
The boy was about to go out to take photographs again. This time he was going to a tribal village of an indigenous people, and the girl's younger brother wanted to go along, so the girl agreed. On the way they encountered an attack by wild animals, and during their escape they became separated. A girl from the indigenous tribe saved the boy and brought him back to their tribe. This girl was the princess of the tribe. The princess liked the boy very much and hoped he would stay, but the boy only loved his beloved girlfriend and was determined to leave. In a fit of anger, the princess used witchcraft to bewitch the boy's heart, making him lose consciousness, and he lived with the princess in the indigenous tribe. The girl's younger brother saw this happening, and he returned home alone and told his sister: do not keep thinking about the boy anymore, he will not come back. The girl did not believe her brother's words; she believed that when the bird of paradise bloomed, the boy would come back.
With the tiny bit of consciousness he had left, he struggled to escape that indigenous tribe. The princess then gave him two choices: one was to live with the princess in the indigenous tribe, and the other was to walk into a cage holding a tiger. The boy slowly walked toward the cage, and just as he was about to step in, the princess was moved and decided to let the boy go.
Still waiting at home for the boy to return, the bird of paradise bloomed, but the boy did not come back. The bird of paradise faded, and the boy still did not come back. By the time the boy returned home, he no longer saw the girl. The younger brother told him that the girl had already died of longing.
The boy was overcome with grief. From then on, the boy never went anywhere else to take photographs again. He only grew flowers at home -- bird of paradise. Whenever passersby went by, he would give them a bird of paradise flower and tell them: no matter when, no matter where, never forget that the person you love is waiting for you. This is the flower language of the bird of paradise flower.
