Tabatha was glad that it was Sunday and she had some time for herself. You see, she was planning to visit Morris from the day she had heard about the accident. All the classmates have visited the friend, except her. Besides, Morris was a good friend and she knew why he went to that place first of all. Morris lived near the hills, amidst the pine forest. He used to tell her about a garden he had discovered on one of the least visited side of the mountain. It was a beautiful garden of honeysuckle flowers. He had met a tiny, old man there who looks after the garden and plays beautiful tunes on his violin.
The old man and Morris seemed to have built up an instant rapport. Morris showed him the cell phone that his mom had given him to carry when ever he is out of the house and the old man gave him a postcard. The postcard was magical. Words started to appear on the postcard as the old man started to utter them. Morris was pretty impressed with the postcard and the kind man therefore gifted it to him.
Morris could not go to the garden as he had to prepare for the upcoming soapmaking exam. He missed the garden and the man. Then one day, he saw the lines written on his card; “Come to the garden, it is a brighter site. The honeysuckle flowers are joined by flowers of different shapes and colors, in the garden. This is as per the royal order and the garden is named the Bright Side.
Morris decided to visit the garden before class. He thought of meeting the man and then attending the class. However, it had rained heavily on the previous night and the hilly road was slippery. Morris slipped on his way back from the garden and sprained his ankle.
Tabatha: So, it was a beautiful garden?
Morris: Yes it was.
Tabatha: How did you managed to create the best soap?
Morris: You see, the jasmine soap had the best formula and fragrance.
Tabatha: Yes I do understand that part. But, I thought you had lost all the ingredients while you slipped on the road.
Morris: I did slip, but on the brighter side, the old man supplied me with the best natural ingredients that I could lay my hands on.
