"The Velvet Hands of the Desert"

~ Kangaroo Paw ~
story and illasted by Gemini

Kangaroo Paw illasted by Gemini

Once, the land was parched, having seen no rain for a long time. Under the scorching sun, a small plant desperately reached out its hands toward the sky.

"Just one drop, the water of life."

That earnest wish caused its stems to stretch long, and transformed its buds into the shape of an animal's "hand," as if to catch something.

And when the first raindrops finally fell at the end of the long drought, those furry, velvet-like hands firmly caught the drops. That joy and vitality turned into vibrant red and green colors, blooming proudly in the wilderness.
