Maple was born in a city park on a sunny spring day. She bloomed to become a symbol of pride. Throughout the summer of her life she contributed to growing the family business. Autumn came as she reached her full radiance.

On a windy October day as life floated away, she felt a sense of regret for not having made a lasting impression. Just before giving out her last breath, a figure picked her up exclaiming: “Check out this red one! It will be perfect for my collection.” Maple could now rest in peace; she would leave a legacy after all.
