A beautifull children tale that many generations grew up with, written by Croatian writer: Suncana Skrinjaric, (my attempt at interpretation and translation)
Every year flowers were having a great spring Ball. Everyone was excited, talking about how beautifull and luxurious their dresses and hairstyles will be...
Everyone, but a little yellow dandelion. He was sad because he had an ugly and simple dress so he never went to a ball.
The old and vise Lady Bug saw him crying so she decided to help him. But she didn't know how, and thought perhaps some of the other bugs could have an idea.
Nobody knew how to help him...
Finally an old and very mean spider heard a story and decided that he should do something good at the end of his lonely life. So spider spent a night under the moonlight making the most beautiful dress for a little yellow flower.
Dandelion was the happiest and the prettiest flower at the ball.
Everyone wanted to talk to him and dance with him. It was the best day of his life.
Next day, while he was still thinking about the dance a boy came, picked him up for his beauty, and blew the dress away...
While dying little dandelion was happy because he knew that every year from now on dandelions will have the most beautiful gown of all...
