Lilac in Alice's land

Chapter 1 : Lilac meets the rabbit

Lilac was reading in the garden. Well, to be more precise, she was pretending to please her parents.

They had told her that she had to be able to read at six.

She was six since yesterday and could not read yet. Well, could not read a book like this one.

She had yet explained to her grandmother that she preferred stickers and toys. Her grandmother had said she got the point and gave her stickers, a game and ... a book.

That book, full of words and letters.

She began to yawn from boredom. Her vision got blurred and the letters began to dance.

The paper started making waves and the white rabbit walked out of the book.

Lilac knew him already. She had met him two years before in december during one of the journeys she had made with her magic bed.

She saw him darting to the back of the garden mumbling :

- Oh dear ! Oh dear ! I shall be to late !

And he disappeared behind the bamboo trees.

Flower's story : Narcissus, a mad man that becomes a flower emblematic of spring

The word narcissus comes from greek mythologie. Narcissus was a beautiful youg man but he was proud, very proud. Nobody was good enough to be loved by him. He rejected every body, including the nymp Echo.
But some day as he was drinking from a spring, he saw a magnificent young man and fell in love with him. He was so smitten with him that he wanted to kiss him and leant to reach, leant, leant so much that he fell in the water and disappeared in it.

Where he was, white flowers grew. They were given his name.

The flowering of narcissus means spring is there, especiacilly the daffodil variety.

Now narcissus exist in many colour, white, yellow, orange and all possible mixtures of them.

In our culture, narcissus is a symbol of vanity. But in China, it is a symbol of luck and richess.
