The small girl hugged her flowers.
Blossoms as big as plates.
She touched a petal and caressed it.
She tickled the fine ridges running along its length.
(Sunrise silver, pink and gold.)

(Pause.)

'The bees use these to make simple honey,' she told the owls.
'even though they aren't.'

(Pause.)

'They smell like caramel,' said the second little owl.
