　　It got colder， and there was not a single ray of sunlight in the dark sky even though many days had passed. She could freeze and die. But her faith that summer would come soon grew stronger and stronger. Even when cold snowflakes came down heavily， and ice-cold winds blew hard， she just lowered her head， and stood there in her white dress.

　　Then， children came out and shouted when they found the Anemone. “Wow， this is a fool of summer.” It is not strange what they said. ‘Anemone’ means ‘a fool of summer’ in Danish.

　　“She is so beautiful and elegant. This is the first flower of this year and also the only flower in this garden. “The children said. The Anemone was so happy that she did not even know that they had pulled her up. One girl picked up and kissed the flower. She brought it to her house and put it in a vase. Anemone had the illusion that summer came because the air was so fresh and warm.

　　There was a custom that young people used to give and take their poems with the first Anemone of the year. The girl‘s boyfriend was staying in a big city for his studying. Inside of the envelope it was as dark as inside of the bulb. The letter set out for the journey in a mail bag， and the Anemone got to the final destination in the end after several times of being squeezed and squashed.

　　The boy who received the letter was so happy， kissed the Anemone and put her in a drawer of his desk with the letter. There were many letters in the drawer， but only one letter had the Anemone. The Anemone was veut happy. She stayed in the drawer even after summer and long winter passed by.

　　When summer came again， the boy took out the letter again. This time， he crumpled it harshly and threw it away on the floor of his room. The Anemone fell down to the floor from the impact. That’s because the girl had another boyfriend. Even though the flower was dry and faded， she felt sad when she was treated that way.

　　The next morning， the sunlight came through the window and shone on the faded the ‘fool of summer’. Then， a maid came into the room and found the flower. She put it in one of the books in the desk. The flower stayed inside the book with poems again， but those poems were much greater and more valuable than before.

　　Many years passed， and the book sometimes was taken out from the bookcase and read by someone. It was the book of a famous Danish poet. One day， a man was reading the book and shouted. “Oh， is this an anemone， a fool of summer？ This poet was also a fool of summer who was ahead of his own age. Everybody used to laugh at him long ago， but he is the best poet of Denmark now. You look nice with this book！”

　　The Anemone was put in the book again. She was happy and proud of herself about how she was kept in that book of the poet. He was also a fool of summer who was standing firmly in the middle of cold winter dreaming summer just like the Anemone.
