The deception

On March 6th, it was a sunny day, and the young girl was happy. She was returning from the library, her favorite place. Overwhelmed by the mild weather and the gentle breeze that was tousling her hair, she began to walk aimlessly. She let herself be carried away by the wind and started strolling along the tree-lined avenue that led to the park. As she walked, forgetting all her troubles, she looked up and saw a distant mimosa tree, which seemed to emit its own light; so she decided to pick some to take home. The closer she got to the tree, the more the yellow color of the mimosas seemed to fade until, when she was near the tree, she realized they were not mimosas at all, but another plant she didn't recognize. She felt a bit disappointed and lost, especially because she had remembered not wearing her glasses. A little sad, the girl decided not to take those "mimosas" and headed home. As she walked, she thought that life is like that: sometimes, it seems like we see clearly what we want, but then we realize it wasn't exactly what we expected. However, with a sigh of melancholy, she entered her house and started to do her duty.
