The legend of tulips
In ancient Europe, there was a beautiful maiden who was admired and pursued by three handsome knights at the same time. One gave her a crown; one gave her a sword; another gave her gold. The maiden was very troubled and did not know how to choose, because all three men were so outstanding, so she had no choice but to ask the flower goddess for help. The flower goddess then turned her into a tulip: the crown became the flower bud, the sword became the leaves, and the gold became the bulb. In this way she accepted the love of the three knights at the same time, and the tulip also became the embodiment of love. Because the crown represented an incomparably noble status, the sword was a symbol of power, and possessing gold meant possessing wealth, in ancient Europe only nobles and distinguished people were qualified to plant tulips.
